Fine in a near fine dust jacket with a touch of shelfwear. Petersen A13a; Howard A13.1a; Massey 103. An exceptional example. One of William Faulkner’s most admired and accessible novels Light in August reveals the great American author at the height of his powers. Lena Grove’s resolute search for the father of her unborn child begets a rich poignant and ultimately hopeful story of perseverance in the face of mortality. It also acquaints us with several of Faulkner’s most unforgettable characters including the Reverend Gail Hightower plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen and Joe Christmas a ragged itinerant soul obsessed with his mixed-race ancestry. Powerfully entwining these characters’ stories Light in August brings to life Faulkner’s imaginary South one of literature’s great invented landscapes in all of its unerringly fascinating glory. "No man ever put more of his heart and soul into the written word than did William Faulkner. If you want to know all you can about that heart and soul the fiction where he put it is still right there" Eudora Welty. Harrison Smith & Robert Haas hardcover books‎

First edition no. 267 of 300 copies printed. xi 29pp. 8vop. From the preface: "The publication of Miss Zilphia Gant by The Book Club of Texas is appropriate. Faulkner's work is so closely identified with the South that it seems almost out of place on an Eastern publisher's list. And he found an early recognition and critical appraisal in the Dallas News book page the editor of which John H. McGinnis has some claim to be the reviewer who first appreciated the significance of Faulkner as new force in American fiction The Book Club of Texas unknown books‎
