Light in August - William Faulkner Monse Weijers From the gothic Old South

From the gothic Old South to revolutionary Mexico

verzint Tristan een plan dat veel van Jimmy zal vragen

wreedheid en ambitie van hun echtgenoten te zwaar wordt om te dragen

nooit uit eigen vrije wil

Daar blijkt dat zich op aarde een verandering van ongekende proporties heeft voltrokken

Light in August - William Faulkner Monse Weijers From the gothic Old SouthA landmark in American fiction, Light in August explores Faulkner's central theme: the nature of evil. Joe Christmas a man doomed, deracinated and alone wanders the Deep South in search of an identity, and a place in society. After killing his perverted God fearing lover, it becomes inevitable that he is pursued by a lynch hungry mob. Yet after the sacrifice, there is new life, a determined ray of light in Faulkner's complex and tragic world.
