First edition of the second novel by John Faulkner, the younger brother of William Faulkner. Octavo, original publisher’s pictorial cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket with creasing, bumping, and sunning to the spine.
John Faulkner was an American novelist and journalist whose fiction focused on labor, class struggle, and economic hardship in the rural and industrial South during the early twentieth century. The younger brother of William Faulkner, he developed a distinct literary voice shaped by firsthand experience with manual labor and political radicalism, most notably in novels such as 'Dollar Cotton'. 'Dollar Cotton' is a socially grounded novel that examines the harsh economic and moral realities of cotton farming in the rural American South during the early twentieth century. Centered on the lives of tenant farmers and landowners caught in cycles of debt, exploitation, and dependency, the novel exposes how the cotton economy reduces both labor and land to commodities measured only by profit.
