This grand misadventure is the story of three unlikely thieves, or reivers: 11-year-old Lucius Priest and two of his family's retainers. In 1905, these three set out from Mississippi for Memphis in a stolen motorcar. The astonishing and complicated results reveal William Faulkner as a master of the picaresque. Watching the interplay between the boy and his help is delectable, due to its blending of three ways of thinking into one unique mode of doing. The Reivers: A Reminiscence is a wild mix of southern culture and rebellion that employs words to work as much for a grin as they do for a cringe. | The Reivers by William Faulkner, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
