William Faulkner – INTRUDER IN THE DUST
Passion and Prejudice
This is a blazing novel of love and guilt, by one of
America’s greatest writers, that movingly explores
the passions and prejudices that exist in the deep
South.
Trapped in a wave of mob hysteria. Lucas
Beauchamp, an elderly Negro who is accused of
the murder of a white man, is in danger of being
lynched. Gavin Stevens, an eminent local lawyer,
is determined to see justice done, but the stubborn
old man refuses his help. Instead, it is to Gavin’s
sixteen-year-old nephew, Chick, that Lucas
confides the truth. To save the old man, Chick
undertakes an eerie assignment—to invade the
graveyard in the dead of the night and dig up the
body of the man Lucas is accused of killing!
In a desperate race against time and the lynch
mob’s fury, Chick unlocks the secret of the grave,
only to disclose a further mystery that baffles the
bloodthirsty townspeople.
This major American novel, by the winner of
the Nobel Prize for Literature, is distinguished
for its suspense, subtlety and gripping narrative
power. Intruder in the Dust searches the
conscience of the South as it wrestles with the
demon of its guilt and love —its relationship to
the Negro.
