Oxford: The Shack (Location Key)

"The Shack'll be open," says one of the town boys with whom Gowan has been drinking in Sanctuary, adding that it's "at the depot" (33). The place is described as "a confectionary-lunchroom," but it is open late at night too, and the one man inside it (wearing "a soiled apron") is willing to bring the young men the fixings - sugar, water and lemon - so they can make and drink what Gowan calls "whiskey sours" (33). This is in Oxford, where Faulkner lives as he is writing the scene, but if he has a real Oxford eatery in mind we haven't been able to identify it.
