William Faulkner: The Cofield Collection

Cofield, Jack

Perhaps no one knew the intensely private William Faulkner better than his brother John. At the time of Bill's funeral, a reporter remarked that seeing John walking the streets of Oxford, Mississippi, was like encountering the ghost of his brother. Indeed John and Bill were mirrors of one another in many ways. In this memoir we find an intimate and at times humorous portrait of the Faulkner brothers from childhood through adulthood. John provides a keen view of the local characters and situations that Bill later used in his novels, including such classics as The Sound and the Fury, As I Lay Dying, and Absalom, Absalom! My Brother Bill was first published in 1963, the year following William Faulkner's death. This edition includes seventeen photographs and a foreword by Jimmy Faulkner, son of the author and nephew of the subject.

Though the world knew William Faulkner as a Nobel prize-winning author, the children of Rowan Oak called him Pappy and knew him as the teller of tales that were tragic, entertaining and sometimes terrifying. In the 1940s at his home, Rowan Oak, in Oxford, Mississippi, Faulkner told ghost stories to the children in his family, one of whom, his niece and ward, Dean Faulkner Wells, has recounted three of them: the haunting and heartbreaking story of Judith, the chilling tale of the Werewolf, and the macabre story of the Hound.
