This a simple story that is stuffed full of Faulknerism which is not necessarily every person‘s cup of tea. Written in a stream of consciousness style with circular imagery, opaque idiomatic references, and a profound understanding of a bygone South and people, this book somehow positions the reader as the intruder and leaves us in the dust. Thoroughly enjoyable if you are OK with bowing to Faulkner‘s world.

This is a book that gets you in the feels. A little like To Kill a Mockingbird with a better outcome. There is a lot of turn of the century language but it truly is beautiful.

Opening line: "It was just noon that Sunday morning when the sheriff reached the jail with Lucas Beauchamp though the whole town (the whole county too for that matter) has known since the night before that Lucas had killed a white man." #intruderinthedust #williamfaulkner #penguinbooks #penguinclassics #bookish #bookgnome #firstline #bookcover #book
