In Reynolds Price's A Long and Happy Life, winner of the first (I think and amn't checking) William Faulkner
First Novel Award, published @1961....there is this:
"You couldn't tell him what you remembered. He said he lived in the present, and that meant that maybe when he
went a hundred thirty miles from home to spend three years in the U.S. Navy, lounging around in a tight uniform
fixing radios and not moving a step out of Norfolk, Virginia (or so he said) except to come home a few weekends,
may be he seldom thought of her."----Rosacoke Mustian as partial narrator here.
