Max Putzel’s book about the young William Faulkner examines how Faulkner learned his craft and proved himself an artist. It traces the writer´s personal and artistic growth through a painstaking examination of Faulkner´s innumerable drafts, false starts and fumbling revisions and relates them to the writer´s jealously guarded private life.

Genius of Place was published by Louisiana State University Press. It is still available by special order.
