The story chronicles the plight of Lucas Beauchamp, a proud and dignified Black man falsely accused of murdering a white man in the American Deep South, who must rely on an unlikely alliance — a white teenage boy, an elderly spinster, and a young Black boy — to uncover the truth before a mob takes justice into its own hands. Faulkner constructs a searing indictment of Southern racial prejudice, weaving courtroom tension with a meditation on guilt, honour, and the burden of history. Written with Faulkner's characteristically dense and rhythmic prose, the novel presents a community forced to confront its own moral failures. Intruder in the Dust stands as a landmark of American literature, as powerful and unsettling today as when it was first written.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956193964251,"sku":"2026200011126-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/b9f86128-5d1a-45b1-bb14-60b9e3c7922e.png?v=1783498978","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200011126-secondhand-intruder-in-the-dust","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
