Dollar Cotton is the story of Otis Town, a colorful character only a Faulkner could invent. A poor Tennessee farmer who leaves his home for the Mississippi Delta, where fertile land is cheap and hopes are plenty, he tears a cotton plantation out of the land and builds an empire, only to see it all wither away when the price of cotton plummets. Refusing to accept his condition, he travels to New York to confront the president of the Stock Exchange, and tragedy ensues. Described as “a classic tale about hard work and dreams, about the triumph and failure of man, and endurance on the land,” the reassurance of John Faulkner’s Dollar Cotton will offer a new generation of readers a look at this particular slice of southern life.
