Book Club | William Faulkner's Light in August


In Light in August, Faulkner explores themes of race, sex, class and religion in the American South. ... more >> By focusing on characters that are misfits, outcasts, or are otherwise marginalized in their community, he portrays the clash of alienated individuals against a Puritanical, prejudiced rural society. The novel has come to be considered one of the most important literary works by Faulkner and one of the best English-language novels of the 20th century. William Faulkner (1897-1962) is one of the most celebrated writers in American literature generally and Southern literature specifically. Though his work was published as early as 1919, and largely during the 1920s and 1930s, Faulkner was not widely known until receiving the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature, for which he became the only Mississippi-born Nobel winner. Two of his works, A Fable (1954) and his last novel The Reivers (1962), won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. Please read the book before arriving at the book discussion.
