From the Nobel Prize winner—one of the most highly acclaimed writers of the twentieth century—a novel set in the American South during Prohibition about hopeful perseverance in the face of mortality.

Light in August features some of Faulkner’s most memorable characters: guileless, dauntless Lena Grove, in search of the father of her unborn child; Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen; and Joe Christmas, a desperate, enigmatic drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry.

“Read, read, read. Read everything—trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out the window.” —William Faulkner

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

William Faulkner

William Faulkner nasceu a 25 de setembro de 1897 em New Albany, Mississípi. A decadência do sul dos Estados Unidos da América, onde sempre viveu, está no centro de grande parte dos seus romances, entre os quais se destacam O Som e a Fúria (1929), Luz em Agosto (1932) e Absalão, Absalão! (1936). Distinguido com o Prémio Nobel da Literatura em 1949, recebeu por duas vezes o prémio Pulitzer de Ficção, com A Fábula (1954) e Os Ratoneiros (1962). Autor central da literatura norte-americana e um dos maiores escritores do século XX, morreu a 6 de julho de 1962.
