This is the second volume of Faulkner's trilogy about the Snopes family, his symbol for the grasping, destructive element in the post-bellum South. Like its predecessor, The Hamlet, and its successor, The Mansion, The Town is completely self-contained, but it gains resonance from the other two. The story of Flem Snopes' ruthless struggle to take over the town of Jefferson, Mississippi, the audiobook is rich in typically Faulknerian episodes of humor and of profundity.
