Description
Several stories are woven together to show man's inner alienation from the society about him. A country girl, well advanced in pregnancy, is seeking the lover who has promised to marry her. Joe Christmas does not know whether he is black or white. Faulkner makes of Joe's tragedy a powerful indictment of racism; at the same time Joe's life is a study of the divided self and becomes a symbol of 20th century man.
