Faulkner Profile - The Man and the Writer

This major new work by a distinguished scholar is the result of a life-time's fascination with Faulkner, whom the author met. His reflections on these meetings are a unique insight into the mind of a man who was notorious for his wish for privacy. So, too, is his analysis of the works of the great novelist and Nobel Prize winner.
