Description
Wm Faulkner. The Town. NY: Random House, [1957]. 1st edition & printing. Octavo. 371 pages. Publisher's binding & 2nd issue dust jacket.
This is the second volume of Faulkner's trilogy about the Snopes family, his symbol for the grasping, destructive element in the post-bellum South. Like its predecessor The Hamlet & its successor The Mansion, The Town is completely self-contained, but it gains resonance from being read with the other two. The story of Flem Snopes' ruthless struggle to take over the town of Jefferson, Mississippi, the book is rich in typically Faulknerian episodes of humor & of profundity.
