FIRST EDITION, first binding. Light in August is one of Faulkner's most highly acclaimed works. The novel revolves around three main characters: Lena Grove, a woman searching for the father of her unborn child; Gail Hightower, an elderly troubled minister; and Joe Christmas, a man struggling with his belief that he is part black. "As Faulkner weaves together the stories of these three characters, he explores the devastating effects of racism and religious fanaticism. A FINE COPY, PRESERVING THE PLAIN GLASSINE OUTER WRAPPER.
