I remember reading in some biography of William Faulkner(or maybe it was in one of Faulkner's published letters)him mentioning writers sitting at his feet at parties in Los Angeles when he was out there writing screen plays in the 1940s. And he mentioned Christopher Isherwood sitting at his feet admiring him.

Here is something about another meeting between Faulkner and Christopher Isherwood that took place some time in the 1950s. Faulkner was with Jean Stein.
  This writing is by Christopher Isherwood friend Don Bachardy.
