Absalom!
In this author's first novel, a wounded aviator returns to Charlestown to find his flapper fiancee Cecily dating George Farr. In that novel by this author, Donald Mahon waits for the title sum of money, goes blind, marries Margaret Powers and dies. In another novel by this author of Soldier's Pay, a trip to Jefferson is supported because  Anse wants new teeth, Cash wants a ‘graphophone' and Dewey (*) Dell wants an abortion, although the central movement of that novel is the Bundrens' journey from Yoknapatawpha County to bury Addie. For 10 points, name this Southern stream-of-consciousness author of As I Lay Dying, The Sound and the Fury and Absalom! Absalom!
