the effects of a horribly wounded soldier on his
family and friends when he returns after World
War I to normal society in his Georgia Home.

Orleans,
with its plotless assembly of witless sophisticates.

Yoknapatawpha County. The novel deals with the
decay of an aristocratic Sartoris family just after
Mob:- 9936444560, 9936357073

grandfather Colonel Clark Falkner.

return of a wounded aviator home to a small town
in Georgia following the conclusion of the First
World War. He is escorted by a veteran of the war,
as well as a widow whose husband was killed
during the conflict. The aviator himself suffered a
horrendous head injury, and is left in a state of
almost perpetual silence, as well as blindness.
Several conflicts revolving around his return
include the state of his engagement to his fiancée,
the desire of the widow to break the engagement
in order to marry the dying aviator herself, and
the romantic intrigue surrounding the fiancée
who had been less than faithful to the aviator in
his absence.

novels not set in his fictional Yoknapatawpha
County, Mississippi.
