Intruder in the Dust

1948 WILLIAM FAULKNER 1st/1st Intruder in the Dust Racial Justice Civil Rights

"Intruder in the Dust" by William Faulkner, published in 1948, is a crime novel set in Mississippi that explores racial tensions and the quest for justice. The story centers on Lucas Beauchamp, a black farmer wrongfully accused of murdering a white man, whose path to exoneration is aided by a diverse group of characters, including black and white teenagers, and a spinster from a longstanding Southern family. Faulkner's signature stream of consciousness narrative and deep reflections on the South's historical memory of the American Civil War add depth to the novel. The characters and themes highlight the complexities of racism and the possibility of redemption in the American South. Following its publication, the novel was adapted into a film, and Faulkner's contribution to American literature was recognized with a Nobel Prize in 1950. The novel continues to be appreciated for its critical engagement with social issues and its innovative narrative style.
