"The Mansion completes Faulkner's great trilogy of the Snopes family in mythical Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, which also includes The Hamlet and The Town. Beginning with the murder of Jack Houston, and ending with the murder of Flem Snopes, it traces the downfall of this indomitable postbellum family, who managed to seize control of the town of Jefferson within a generation."--Page 4 of cover.

“The jury said "Guilty" and the Judge said "Life" but he didn't hear them.”
William Faulkner was a Nobel Prize-winning American author. One of the most influential writers of the 20th century, his reputation is based on his novels, novellas and short stories. He was also a published poet and an occasional screenwriter. ([Source][1].) [1]:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Faulkner
