Louis Kronenberger
A rich compound of imagination, observation, and experience. In an isolated world of Faulkner's own making, shadows having the reality of men grope through a maze complex enough to be at once pitiful and comic, passionate, tormenting, and strange.

From the Publisher
"This book rings true." —The New York Times
"Comic, passionate, tormenting, and strange." —Literary Digest
"Moving and intense. The story alone is a gem, but for deeper things that lie back of the mere plot the book is likely to become a classic." —St. Louis Globe-Democrat
1926 New York Times
A deft hand has woven this narrative of mixed and frustrated emotions and has set it down with hard intellegence as well as consummate pity. This book rings true.”
