We'd both be in jail." So said Faulkner's publisher prior to the 1931 publication of this sensational novel of rape and murder, focusing on Temple Drake, an Ole Miss debutante, and a violent bootlegging criminal named Popeye. Faulkner throws his 2d favorite female character, Temple Drake (behind Caddy Compson), an Ole Miss cutie, into the devil's pit by circumstances (caused proximately by the same brown devilwater that
Update as of 1/11/2017.....Faulkner still sucks...OK, Im going to be honest and tell you how I feel about Faulkner.....Fuck Faulkner. No, seriously, fuck him! Im sorry, he's got a lot of street cred. but his books are slow and dull and do not capture the reader at all within the first chapter (I have the attention span of a fish).

Faulkner must have had a swilling good time pecking out these chapters where life is cheap and the liquor is strong. Temple Drake his victim is villain in disguise as southern gentility and Popeye her shifty and murderous clubfoot accomplice an "Incel" who fits the #MeToo movement like a pig in a poke. There's
Sanctuary is kind of like if Faulkner and John Grisham got together to write about some horrific events ending in a trial in a small southern town. Don't hang out with moonshiners, kids. Discussion of this one was really interesting because there was so much more to unpack than I expected. The spring at the beginning, the ending and its multiple interpretations, etc.
