Product Description

A classic Faulkner novel which explores the lives of a family of characters in the South. An aging black who has long refused to adopt the black's traditionally servile attitude is wrongfully accused of murdering a white man. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

Ingram

At once an engrossing murder mystery and an unflinching potrait of racial injustice in the Reconstruction South, Intruder in the Dust stands out as a true classic of Southern literature. This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

This review is from: Intruder in the Dust (Paperback)

I am in 11th grade, and my hackles naturally went up upon reading the several reviews written by high schoolers on the subject of this novel. Do not be put off by such efforts to defile a masterpiece. This is one of the most profound and convincing novels I have ever read.

Tolstoy once wrote that the success of any work of art depends ultimately upon the artist's maintaining an "independent moral relation" to his subject, and that he who does not bring to his work a fresh and enlightened view of the universe will invariably fail in attempting to create good art. Applying this criterion to Intruder in the Dust, Faulkner's novel stands as a paradigm of great art; for its moral scope and philosophical perspective are singularly awesome. Faulkner is simultaneously sympathetic toward and critical of that Southern society which serves as his subject, and yet he manages never to stoop to petty preaching or outright sermonizing. His work is a marvel of artistic delicacy and intensity. Bravo.

This review is from: Intruder in the Dust (Paperback)

Wonderful writing, slow and steady and relentless as a long walk on a hot day on a dusty road in the deep south. Tragic central story of a proud black man who has tried to live as just Man, not black man, and suffers for it when he is wrongfully accused of murdering a white woman, a woman who for many years was his lover. The further you read, the more certain you are that this cannot end well - but no way can you stop reading.
Classic Faulkner at his best, with the typical huge cast of 'characters' (in every sense of the word) and side plots.

This review is from: Intruder in the Dust (Paperback)

I am in eleventh grade Advanced Placement (AP) English and this is the first book I have ever read that has made me want to learn another language. This writer has no respect for his readers with his continously confusing run-on sentences and distracting word placement. Furthermore, he has no respect for the "laws" of the language, that are put there to keep from this very disgrace of a novel of ever happening. I will never read another William Faulkner novel; for this one has made me feel like my intelligence has been stripped from me. In plain, American, understandable English: THIS BOOK STINKS!

This novel has a traditional detective story plot and a conventional attitude about race relations (although it was progressive for the South in the late 40s). Read more
