Biography:
Thinking about the books in his home, Charles Mallison the ones "his grandfather had . . . heired in his turn from his father" (149). With this reference the story seems to want to establish the pedigree of the family Charles belongs to: his mother's maiden name is Stevens, one of the oldest names in the story of Yoknapatawpha. (In the earlier novel Light in August, Gavin Stevens refers to his father's father as a man who owned slaves in Yoknapatawpha before the Civil War.)
