About the book:

Often the right entry point into Faulkner for readers who bounced off The Sound and the Fury or As I Lay Dying. Three narratives move in parallel and converge slowly: a pregnant woman walking across Mississippi, a man with uncertain racial identity who has been running his whole life, a disgraced minister with nowhere left to go. Faulkner deals with race, religion, and violence in the American South without flinching.

What marks Faulkner's prose here is the granularity of its attention, he slows time right down so that a hand on a door handle, a posture, a way of walking carries full psychological weight. Every small movement carries meaning. Read slowly at dusk.
