One of America’s most celebrated writers, William Faulkner won the Nobel Prize for Literature the year following the publication of this novel of murder and racism in the Deep South. Two teenage boys, one white and one Black, work to prove the innocence of a Black farmer accused of murdering a white man. The novel was the basis for the 1949 film of the same title, directed by Clarence Brown and selected as one of the year’s ten best films by the New York Times. A Haycraft-Queen selection. Source: The Grolier Club
