It's no wonder that William Faulkner is widely regarded as one of the most important writers of the 20th century; in words, time and time again, he has managed to paint a vivid history of the Southern U.S., capturing a society in decline. Published in 1931, Sanctuary is one of his most sensational novels. This sinister story tells of the abduction of Temple Drake, an Alabama debutante, who winds up in the clutches of a menacing bootlegger named Popeye. Hatred, betrayal and violence all rear their ugly heads in this provocative novel from the Nobel Prize-winning author.
