The Reivers

More about the book

Lucius "Loosh" Priest recounts his youthful adventures with the brave yet utterly unreliable Boon Hogganbeck, the clever black driver Ned Hogganbeck, and the kind-hearted prostitute Miss Corrie. The story involves a stolen racehorse and a bordello that is mistaken for a hotel. Through these escapades, Faulkner explores themes of innocence, morality, and the complexities of human relationships in the American South. The narrative captures the spirit of a bygone era, blending humor and poignancy as the characters navigate their misadventures and the societal norms of their time.
