The Reivers

The Reivers, published in 1962, is William Faulkner's final novel. Unlike many of his earlier works, it is a straightforward narration and eschews the complicated literary techniques of his greatest works. It is also uncharacteristically lighthearted. For these reasons, The Reivers is often ignored by Faulkner scholars or dismissed as a lesser work. He previously had referred to writing a "Golden Book of Yoknapatawpha County" which he would finish his literary career with. It is likely that The Reivers was meant to be this "Golden Book."
