Full refund if not satisfied.FROM THE DUST JACKET: "William Faulkner's seventeenth volume, his first novel to be published since The Hamlet in 1940, searches the conscience of the South. It is a study of murder and the mass mind, of an accused Negro whose guilt or innocence becomes secondary to the larger moral problems of justice itself, of a boy just old enough to find his way into manhood under the stress of conflicting values, of a community suspended momentarily between instinctive decency and bestial, irrevocable action. It is a story of man in his essential nobility but on the verge of repudiating himself in all his reprehensible weakness. In a few fateful hours while a mob gathers, two lads and an old woman search for the truth that may free not only the accused by the community itself. How they find it and all that is revealed to them make far more than a story of suspense and mystery; their discovery, and the rapt reader's too, is a new insight into the relationship between the dominant and the dominated. Intruder in the Dust is a major American novel, distinguished for its penetration, subtlety, and gripping narrative power."

Taking place in Mississippi, it revolves around an African American farmer accused of murdering a Caucasian man. Intruder in the Dust was turned into a film of the same name directed by Clarence Brown in 1949 after MGM paid film rights of $50,000 to Faulkner. The film was shot in Faulkner's home town of Oxford, Mississippi. In 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature for "his powerful and artistically unique contribution to the modern American novel." The Nobel Prize was not specifically for his novel Intruder in the Dust but for the enduring contribution of his writing as a whole.- Wiki.

This is a true 1st American edition, 1st printing of the book published by Random House in 1948. The dust jacket is protected from further wear by a Mylar sleeve. ****************************************************** "Set in the deep south that provided the backdrop for all of Faulkner's finest fiction, 'Intruder in the Dust' is the novel that marks the final phase of its author's outstanding creative period. The chronicle of an elderly black farmer arrested for the murder of a white man and under threat from the lynch mob is a characteristically Faulknerian tale of dark omen, its sole ray of hope the character of the young white boy who repays an old favour by proving the innocence of the man who saved him from drowning in an icy creek." ********************************************************* William Cuthbert Faulkner (September 25, 1897 July 6, 1962) was an American writer known for his novels and short stories set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County, based on Lafayette County, Mississippi, where Faulkner spent most of his life. A Nobel laureate, Faulkner is one of the most celebrated writers of American literature and often is considered the greatest writer of Southern literature. **** Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi, and his family moved to Oxford, Mississippi, when he was a child. With the outbreak of World War I, he joined the Royal Canadian Air Force, but did not serve in combat. Returning to Oxford, he attended the University of Mississippi for three semesters before dropping out. He moved to New Orleans, where he wrote his first novel Soldiers' Pay (1925). He went back to Oxford and wrote Sartoris (1927), his first work set in the fictional Yoknapatawpha County. In 1929, he published The Sound and the Fury. The following year, he wrote As I Lay Dying. Later that decade, he wrote Light in August, Absalom, Absalom! and The Wild Palms. He also worked as a screenwriter, contributing to Howard Hawks's To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep; the former film, adapted from a novel by Ernest Hemingway, is the only film with contributions by two Nobel laureates. **** He is the only Mississippi-born Nobel laureate. Two of his works, A Fable (1954) and The Reivers (1962), won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction. ********** The above text was taken from, respectively, Random House publishers (via Google Books) and Wikipedia.

Overall, a tight and pleasing copy. Petersen A26.2. In Intruder in the Dust, Faulkner uses a murder mystery to explore the larger theme of race relations in the American South. Like many of his novels, it is set in Jefferson, the seat of the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi, based on Faulkner's childhood experiences in Oxford. Specifically, it tells the story of Lucas Beauchamp, an elderly African American famer, who is accused of murdering a white man. When a growing mob threatens to lynch Beauchamp, sixteen-year-old Chick Mallison, who had long sought to repay a debt to Beauchamp for kindness he received in the past, works with two fellow townspeople to clear the accused's name. Although he won for his entire body of work rather than this novel alone, Intruder in the Dust helped Faulkner achieve the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.

Description: 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.

Faulkner, William. INTRUDER IN THE DUST. Random House, New York, 1948.

Price: US$1500.00 + shipping

Description: First printing of Faulkner's consideration of Southern racism, explored through the unusual (for Faulkner) device of a murder mystery. This mystery is framed around the wrongful accusation and later exoneration of Lucas Beauchamp, a character first introduced in the author's previous GO DOWN, MOSES. The 1949 film adaptation of INTRUDER IN THE DUST, shot on location in Mississippi, was not a great box-office success; it was one of several films released that same year which attempted to depict white racism, and white audiences had perhaps grown weary of paying attention to true things that did not flatter them. Nevertheless, the adaptation drew critical comment and praise from none other than Ralph Ellison, who singled it out from those other attempts as "the only film that could be shown in Harlem without arousing unintended laughter." 8'' x 5.5''. Original black cloth with blue and gilt-stamped lettering. In original unclipped ($3.00) dust jacket, designed by E. McKnight Kauffer. [4], 247, [1] pages. Stated first printing. Minor edgewear. Light soil to rear jacket panel.

Rowan Oak. 29 Sept 1948." Additionally Signed by Faulkner on the title page: "William Faulkner. Oxford, Miss. 29 Sept 1948." According to his bio on the Mississippi Writers web page, Malcolm was "[b]orn in 1923 in China, Malcolm Franklin is the son of Cornell and Lida Estelle Franklin and the stepson of author William Faulkner. He lived with Faulkner in Oxford, Mississippi, beginning at age six when Faulkner and his mother married in 1929. William Faulkner called Malcolm by his nickname Buddy. Franklin served as a medic during World War II. He died in 1977. His book, *Bitterweeds: Life with William Faulkner at Rowan Oak* (1977) is his memoir about life with Faulkner." Because Faulkner was obligated by contract to sign limited editions, he would rarely inscribe books, except to his very closest friends and family, and sometimes not even then. Genuine inscribed copies of his early works are rare. In the fall of 1931, Faulkner told Alfred A. Knopf, who approached him with books he had hoped to get inscribed: "People stop me on the street and in elevators and ask me to sign books, but I can't afford to do this because special signed editions are part of my stock-in-trade. Aside from that, I only sign books for my friends" (Blotner, p.294). A wonderful association copy of this novel about murder and the mass mind, the popularity of which was instrumental in gaining Faulkner the Nobel Prize. Basis for the 1949 Clarence Brown film, considered one of the most powerful films about racial prejudice ever made. *Haycraft-Queen Cornerstone*.
