“Do you read books?” This question from Popeye, a ruthless gangster, to Horace Benbow, an idealistic lawyer, pierces the violence and moral decay of Prohibition-era Mississippi in William Faulkner’s gritty thriller Sanctuary.
When reckless college student Temple Drake stumbles into a bootlegger’s hideout, she enters a nightmare of brutality that shatters her innocence. Her fate intertwines with Benbow’s desperate search for justice in a corrupt world. Faulkner weaves a harrowing Southern Gothic tale of predatory evil, exposing the rot beneath gentility—where sanctuaries become prisons and morality itself is on trial. An essential, illuminating classic.
