Today this novel is regarded as essential reading for anyone who wishes to have some feel for Faulkner's mythical county in Mississippi. From a variety of angles-such as the comedy of Uncle Buck and Uncle Buddy in "War," the terrible plight of the black man in "Pantaloon in Black," and the wisdom and wonder of the aged in "The Old People"-Faulkner examines the changing relationship of black to white and of man to land, and weaves a complex, interrelated work that is rich in implication and understanding of the human condition.
