BYNUM, TAYLOR - 19

NEW YORK WRITER
OBTAINED LITERARY
TRAINING IN CITY

Introduced to a new author in the pages of Liberty Magazine this
week many Corinthians realized that they had met him before. In fact,
Taylor Bynum, whose name, printed in large squarish letters on the page
where his story "Rebellion in Crestwood," begins in Liberty, is a native
Corinthian and received his first literary training in the schools of
this city.
Now a resident of New York, where he has lived for the past eight
years, Taylor Bynum is the author of a novel, "The Audacious Fool," which
he published in 1931, and a number of shorter stories.
While in New York he worked in the editorial department of Fox
films for two years, but is now devoting his entire time to fiction
writing.
He left Corinth at the age of 16, immediately after graduation
from Corinth High School, when his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Mark Bynum,
after waiting here for him to graduate, moved to Webb.
During the World War, Mr. Bynum entered training for the aviation
service, and was in a training camp when the war ended. He later
travelled rather extensively, spending much of his time on the
Mississippi coast, where he obtained the material later used in his first
published novel, the "Audacious Fool."
At present he has two books in the making and his Mississippi
friends are anxiously awaiting their appearance on the market.
