Reader's note

A classic vintage orange 1960 edition of Light in August by William Faulkner. When it was first published many critics considered it to be a macabre fantasy - one went so far as to say that the novel was like 'an epileptic fit'. Now it is a landmark in American fiction. The central figure, ironically called Joe Christmas kills his perverted but God-fearing lover (who has ordered him to fall on his knees and pray at pistol point) and is pursued by a lynch-hungry populace. Read this Penguin edition to find out what happens!
