About Light in August
Light in August (1932) is the most accessible of William Faulkner's major novels and the best starting point for new readers of his work. The intertwined stories of Joe Christmas (a man of ambiguous racial identity) and Lena Grove (a pregnant woman of extraordinary serenity) present both Faulkner's most tragic vision and his most serene, making his moral world immediately accessible even as his prose achieves extraordinary depth.
