Disappearing in Mississippi Latitudes: Volume Two of A Mississippi Trilogy - Softcover
In the second volume of Louis Daniel Brodsky's narrative trilogy about a Northerner's personal odyssey in Faulkner's Mississippi, the main character leaves his Missouri home more and more frequently, for this cultural "oasis" and recognizes that marital discord is at the heart of his flights. Moreover, his original perceptions of the land and its people, based largely on his reading of Faulkner's novels, start to delude him.

Review:
L.D. Brodsky's poetry offers a moving, insightful understanding of Mississippi worlds about which William Faulkner wrote. Brodsky's quest for Faulkner's world is a fascinating pilgrimage. ---- William Ferris, former chairman of the National Endowment for Humanities
Brodsky's verse is steeped in the sensuous brew of the North Mississippi country, and the mixture of ingredients -- what he finds there, what it tells him about himself -- makes for memorable poems. ---- Louis D. Rubin, Jr., founder of Algonquin Books and former editor of The Literary South
