This introductory study begins with three chapters clearly setting out the important facts of his life, mapping the people and history of his recurrent fictional setting, Yoknapatawpha County, and analysing the oddities and problems of his prose style. Later chapters turn directly to Faulkner's great novel Go Down, Moses and his later collection Big Woods, dealing in detail with each story and the intertexts and showing how they connect and add up to something much more than loose collections.
