R. Cofield, Jack Cofield, and others; coffee table size, 302 photographs, 214 pages. "This family album out of Yoknapatawpha country is a more satisfying answer to what Faulkner was like than many more formal biographies." (Robert Wells, The Milwaukee Journal)"A superb photo-biography… A treasure trove that in its unvarnished simplicity richly illuminates the life and work of America’s finest novelist." (Henry Kisor, The Chicago Sun-Times):The author and his Yoknapatawpha County grow a good deal more imaginable and accessible and rather less formidable in the pages of this delightful book." (Charles Champlin, The Los Angeles Times)

Jack Cofield (1927-1990) was the son of William Faulkner's family photographer, J.R. Cofield. He succeeded his father as chief photographer at the University of Mississippi and photographed William Faulkner on several occasions.
In 1978 Yoknapatawpha Press published William Faulkner: The Cofield Collection in hardcover. Now we are pleased to announce the release of a paperback edition of this photo-biography of William Faulkner which combines studio portraits taken by Oxford photographers J. R. Cofield and his son Jack with historical photographs taken at the turn of the 20th Century by photographer William Clark, Cofield s predecessor in Oxford. School yearbook pictures, family snapshots, pictures taken by visitors to Rowan Oak, Faulkner s home in Oxford, and news photographs follow the author from birth to grave. Readers of the first edition reported that in one hour they gained a more complete visual sense of Faulkner s life and work than they d previously thought possible. These photographs, Eudora Welty observed, eloquently tell us what no voice now can tell, what no words are likely to express so clearly and intimately about William Faulkner s life. His readers must always be grateful for this valuable storehouse of living record.
