The story begins with vivid and beautiful description of 1940s Mississippi. It is a place fighting change. No longer is the world agrarian, and the Southern aristocracy with its roots in large plantations are finding themselves in the midst of change. But, although modern technological advances are replacing the old system, racism still has its grips on the community. The black population is still expected to defer to their white neighbors. They still take all the blame for anything that goes wrong. They are seen as lesser than.
Our main character is Lucas Beauchamp -- the proud, responsible, and often defiant black man who he also featured in Go Down, Moses. Lucas doesn't act in the ways that his society demands. He is seen as too proud, arrogant and impudent. But it is clear from the first page that Faulkner sees his character as intelligent and heroic.
Unfortunately Lucas is not accused of murdering a white man. And Faulkner allows us to be part of the rescue mission -- following the people who are attempting to protect Lucas from the mob of white men who seek to lynch the innocent man, and with the three people in town who are working to prove that he didn't commit the crime.
Faulkner is always brilliant

What did you like best about Intruder in the Dust? What did you like least?
Best-action scenes= best. It's like being in the center of a thunderstorm- there's so much going on at once but you feel so totally alive at that moment even though it should be horrifying
Worst-
Literally everything else. This guy writes 5-page long sentences that are confusing af. don't expect to read this book in one sitting
Would you be willing to try another book from William Faulkner? Why or why not?
absolutely not. reasons listed aboveWhat three words best describe Scott Brick’s voice?
white southern maleCould you see Intruder in the Dust being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?
yep. Woody Allen would be the racist uncle, Shaq O'Neil could be Lucas. The boy could be played by anyone really. The lady who played Proff. McGonegal in the Harry Potter series would make a great Mrs. HabershamAny additional comments?
This is probably a really good book if you like Faulkner's style of writingI really don't like Faulkner, keep tht in mind
