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 the brother. Indeed, John and Bill were mirrors of one another in many ways. In his memoir we find an intimate and at time humourous portrait of William and his brothers from childhood to adulthood. John provides a keen view of the local characters and situation which Bill later used in his novels. John provides us a rare look into the soul of the Nobel Prize-winning author.
