Download The Reivers AudioBook Free
Faulkner's great comic novel progresses the wheels of breathless suspense. Lucius Priest, Boon Hogganbeck, and Ned McCaslin "borrow" Lucius grandfather's automobile at the start of any hilarious journey that pales in comparison to what awaits the reivers (plunderers or freebooters) in Memphis. Ned trades the auto for a most dubious racehorse. The way the reivers grapple with the crisis is the mainspring of the storyplot that leads from a brothel to a brush with regulations to the most bizarre horse racing in fact or fiction! The wild humor and the frenetic action will not, however, obscure to the listener that "The Reivers," like most of Faulkner's work, is approximately moving and tender human relationships and moral insights into human conduct.
