Asked about the novel's religious imagery, Faulkner did not deny its presence, but replied that "the people to me come first. The symbolism comes second." An attractive copy of one of the 20th century's great novels.Read more: Massey, William Faulkner: "Man Working," 1919-1962; Millgate, New Essays on Light in August.
