Description: 

In Memphis, Tennessee, are the "markets" where Jim Gant sells the "horses and mules" he buys in and around Yoknapatawpha (368). It is also in the "equivocal purlieus of Memphis" that Mrs. Gant catches up with her husband and his new mistress (370). And at other end of story, Memphis is where Zilphia goes to hire a "private detective agency," to keep her informed about the new life her husband is leading "in a neighboring state" (379).
