Author Sally Wolff uncovers new information about Faulkner's sources and examines how the town of Holly Springs, its people, and its culture influenced the Nobel Laureate and the literature he produced. Wolff argues that this information can serve as touchstone sources for some of Faulkner's most renowned fiction, including \u003ci\u003eThe Sound and the Fury\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAbsalom, Absalom!, \u003c\/i\u003e \u003ci\u003eIntruder in the Dust\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRequiem for a Nun\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eInformation from various interviews with over twenty current and former citizens of Holly Springs also helps to reveal Faulkner's presence in this small town and the ways in which he drew from and then transformed what he found there into some of the greatest works in American letters.
