From the publisher:

In the overall-design of the trilogy devoted to the origin, rise and dominance of the Snopes family, The Town is the second novel. Its predecessor The Hamlet. Its successor, The Mansion, will ultimately conclude the chronicle of the Snopeses, who took root in Yoknapatawpha County and proliferated through and beyod it until they outmaneuvered and overpowered a society and a culture that had little defense against their invincible rapacity.
