In the concluding volume of Louis Daniel Brodsky's narrative trilogy about a Northerner's personal odyssey in Faulkner's Mississippi, the hypocrisy and bigotry of small-town Oxford, with its commercialization of Faulkner, exacerbate the main character's disillusion, a malaise that ultimately leads to his moral and spiritual degradation.

Review:

Louis D. Brodsky always works in improbable and daring ways. The narrator of this striking monologue...metaphorically transforms the State of Mississippi into "Mistress Mississippi," the image incarnate of his illusions and delusions of desire. ---- Lewis P. Simpson, author of Dispossessed Garden: Pastoral and History in Literature
