William Faulkner was a literary genius, and one of America's most important and influential writers. Drawing on previously unavailable sources - including letters, memoirs, and interviews with Faulkner's daughter and lovers - Jay Parini has crafted a biography that delves into the mystery of this gifted and troubled writer. His Faulkner is an extremely talented, obsessive artist plagued by alcoholism and a bad marriage who somehow transcends his limitations. Parini weaves the tragedies and triumphs of Faulkner's life in with his novels, serving up a biography that's as engaging as it is insightful.(www.powells.com)
