RT Book, Whole DB /z-wcorg/ DS http://worldcat.org ID 21525352 LA English T1 Light in August : the corrected text A1 Faulkner, William, PB Vintage Books PP New York YR 1990 SN 0679732268 : 9780679732266 0808563386 9780808563389 AB 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.
