Trade Review
A lush story of a genius and his substantial achievements, failures, and demons.- Kirkus, starred review;

""The concluding volume of this two-part biography of Faulkner shows Rollyson, a Baruch College professor emeritus, as both a careful observer of Faulkner the man, and an adept and perceptive reader of his work.... Rollyson's painstakingly researched and beautifully written biography should be a touchstone for Faulkner scholarship for years to come.""- Publishers Weekly, starred review
