This is the book that was written by the brother of William Faulkner, John Faulkner. I am not only interested to learn more about the sibling relationship/rivalry, but read more of this lesser known Faulkner's books. The story of Men Working is about the impact of the WPA on the poor farmers in the south during the times before the outbreak of WWII. Although the author had "a dog in that fight" the story is a stark picture of the Beverly Hillbillies who didn't make it rich on black gold. The use of the country speech gets under your skin - I find myself saying, "Ain't that narce?"
