Joab

Jane Bennett Gaddy has captured in her third installment of the Payne family, JOAB, a piece of the history for Faulkners little postage stamp of native soil with a combination of history and fiction. She places Joab in Oxford, known as Jefferson in the Faulkner novels, at a time when this town was at its lowest. History and fiction sometimes come together and Gaddy has given us something, asOxonians, to think about in our little postage stamp of native soil.Jack Lamar Mayfield, Columnist, The Oxford Eagle
