Light in August : the corrected text / William Faulkner. Vintage international ed. New York : Vintage Books, 1990. 512 p. ; 21 cm. Originally published: Harrison Smith and Robert Haas, 1932. "This revised text and the notes are reprinted from Novels 1930-1935 by William Faulkner, published by the Library of America, 1985, by permission"--T.p. verso. This book is part of a three book set and includes a reader's guide. Joe Christmas does not know whether he is black or white. Faulkner makes of Joe's tragedy a powerful indictment of racism; at the same time Joe's life is a study of the divided self and becomes a symbol of 20th century man. Light in August is the story of Lena Grove's search for the father of her unborn child, and features one of Faulkner's most memorable characters: Joe Christmas, a desperate drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry. 20180212.
