This work is a fascinating blend of literary interpretation in
narrational form. Within the framework of a fiction a critical study
takes shape that is basedon solid up to to date research (ninety-six
entries appear in list of works cited) and will be of value to both
serious Faulkner scholars and general academic readers alike,
particularly those interested in mystery and detective fiction, southern
literature, the works of Poe and, of course, the Yoknapatawpha novels.
