Ilustration In Favor Of Books Intruder in the Dust

Set in the deep south that provided the backdrop for all of Faulkner's finest fiction, Intruder in the Dust is the novel that marks the final phase of its author's outstanding creative period. The chronicle of an elderly black farmer arrested for the murder of a white man and under threat from the lynch mob is a characteristically Faulknerian tale of dark omen, its sole ray of hope the character of the young white boy who repays an old favour by proving the innocence of the man who saved him from drowning in an icy creek.

Evaluation Of Books Intruder in the Dust

I discovered an audio version of the novel. I would recommend listening to enjoy the story. I agree with your thoughts about the lack of punctuation.

I picked up this novel at a library used book sale for one dollar. I didnt have anything else by Faulkner, so I figured I might as well try it for such a good price. Im very glad that I did so. When I started reading Intruder in the Dust, I almost gave up after the first two chapters. It wasnt that the plot wasnt interesting or that it wasnt well-crafted, but I had never experienced Faulkners writing style. For anyone else who hasnt read him, his sentences have very little punctuations, and they

Faulkner is an acquired taste it has taken me years to become accustomed to. This is a nice plot-driven mystery narrated by young Charles Mallison. Published twelve years prior to TKAM it begs for comparison. I'm absolutely impressed that Faulkner took on this subject matter at such an early date. His social commentary,although sometimes a bit wordy, was nonetheless quite valid. This is among my favorite Faulkners now, and I'm still a little surprised I had never been exposed to such an

In June of this year I wrote a piece on my Ana the Imp blog marking the fiftieth anniversary of the publication of Harper Lees novel To Kill a Mockingbird, high among the greats of modern American literature. At the time another blogger suggested that there might be some similarities here with themes earlier examined in the work of William Faulkner. After a little exploration we both agreed that there were possible parallels between To Kill a Mockingbird and Intruder in the Dust, a novel

Intruder in the Dust, William FaulknerIntruder in the Dust is a novel by the Nobel Prizewinning American author William Faulkner published in 1948. The novel focuses on Lucas Beauchamp, a black farmer accused of murdering a white man. He is exonerated through the efforts of black and white teenagers and a spinster from a long-established Southern family. It was written as Faulkner's response as a Southern writer to the racial problems facing the South. In his Selected Letters, Faulkner wrote:

Intruder in the Dust by William Faulkner is one of the hardest books I've ever read. I hated every moment reading it, but I have to tell you it's one terrific story and I wound up loving it. There are quite a few difficult reads (Moby Dick for one) that I am perfectly willing to admit are great literature and tell a good story--but I hated them. I'm not going to tell anybody, "You've just got to read Moby Dick!" If you want to and wind up loving it, then fine. But don't expect me to do any

Faulkner here mixes his typical excellent storytelling and character development with some detective work by 3 unlikely persons. The story focuses on Lucas Beauchamp, an elderly and proud black man accused of murder on the flimsiest of circumstantial evidence. He is obstinate and more than ready to pay with his life for a crime he didn't commit rather than suffer the indignity of having to point out how absurd the case against him is. Two young boys (one white and one black), an elderly woman
