Light in August, a novel about hopeful perseverance in the face of mortality, features some of Faulkner´s most memorable characters: guileless, dauntless Lena Grove, in search of the father of her unborn child; Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confederate hosemen; and Joe Christmas, a desperate, enigmatic drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry.
