When Miss Emily Grierson died, our whole town went to her funeral: the men through a sort of respectful affection for a fallen monument, the women mostly out of curiosity to see the inside of her house …

Emily Grierson is an eccentric and reclusive woman from a once-respected Southern family. Isolated in her mansion after her father’s death. She gives art lessons to the young children of the town to support herself, and—for a time—becomes friendly with a laborer who comes to town. For years, townspeople only see a manservant coming in and out of the house and they’re all too curious about the happenings inside and why there’s such a powerful odor emanating from the property.

William Faulkner (1897–1962) was a novelist and short-story writer, best known for his works set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, including The Sound and the Fury, and As I Lay Dying. Faulkner received two Pulitzer Prizes and the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature.

Afterword by Nasrullah Mambrol.
