Sanctuary - William Faulkner

The landscape of this turbulent drama is Tennessee and the Deep South; the characters are a group of social misfits and outcasts whose fates become entangled in a pitiful miscarriage of justice. Yet no perceptive reader of this tragedy of degenerates and delinquents will mistake it for a lurid narrative of violence. William Faulkner sets out once more to explore the devious motives which determine human conduct in its sinister as well as its noble aspects; and there are many who maintain that Sanctuary is the best of all his novels.

William Faulkner (1897-1962) was a major American novelist and Nobel laureate. He received the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature and two Pulitzer Prizes for Fiction.
