Rowan Oak Post

                                                                    An Oxford Odyssey

"Demon-possessed with writing" - Bill Griffin
"People could relate to Faulkner's drinking...however Faulkner never drank while he wrote." - Bill Griffin

Even though no one has lived in the famous Faulkner home for decades, Rowan Oak is still a living organism contributing to present day Oxford. Still preserved as if William Faulkner made breakfast there that morning, the plantation provides a rich, palpable history about the great Southern writer and the local community he loved so dear. Considered the Trailblazer of Southern Modern Literature, Faulkner never wrote about THE South in general, he wrote about HIS South, as a Southerner.
