Summary:
In this book the author recounts the story of the Faulkners of Mississippi, whose legacy includes pioneers, noble and ignoble war veterans, three never convicted murderers, the builder of the first railroad in north Mississippi, the founding president of a bank, an FBI agent, four pilots (all brothers), and a Nobel prize winner arguably the most important American novelist of the twentieth century. She also reveals wonderfully entertaining and intimate stories and anecdotes about her family, in particular her uncle William or Pappy with whom she shared colorful, sometimes utterly frank, sometimes whimsical, conversations and experiences. This memoir explores the close relationship between
Dean
's uncle and her father,
Dean
Swift
Faulkner
, a barnstormer killed at age twenty eight during an air show four months before she was born. It was William who gave his youngest brother an airplane, and after
Dean
's tragic death, William helped to raise his niece. He paid for her education, gave her away when she was married, and maintained a unique relationship with her throughout his life. From the 1920s to the early civil rights era, from
Faulkner
's winning of the Nobel Prize in Literature to his death in 1962, this work explores the changing culture and society of Oxford, Mississippi, while offering a rare glimpse of a notoriously private family and an indelible portrait of a national treasure.
