Decades on, tellers and retellers piece together how a poor white boy willed himself into a plantation dynasty, and how the son he refused to acknowledge brought it down.

Tell about the South. What's it like there. What do they do there. Why do they live there. Why do they live at all.
Absalom, Absalom!, William Faulkner
