Light in August features many, if not all, of the elements contained in Southern Gothic literature: dark humor, grotesque characters, focus on place, the haunting specter of slavery, sexual oppression, violence, depravity, and more! Faulkner is a master at molding these themes into a narrative both compelling and disturbing, using modernist techniques that challenge the reader to dig deep and think even deeper. In a battle over good vs evil, who will prevail?
