Description
The Reivers is Faulkner’s final novel, a humorous and nostalgic tale of adventure set in early 20th-century Mississippi. It follows young Lucius Priest, who embarks on a mischief-filled journey to Memphis with a family retainer and a friend after "borrowing" his grandfather’s car. Along the way, they encounter a colorful cast of characters and situations that blend moral lessons with light-hearted misadventure. Through wit and warmth, Faulkner paints a rich picture of Southern life, tradition, and the passage from innocence to experience.
