451 editions published between 1932 and 2014 in 5 languages and held by 9,945 WorldCat member libraries worldwide
Joe Christmas does not know whether he is black or white.

Light in August is the story of Lena Grove's search for the father of her unborn child, and features one of Faulkner's most memorable characters: Joe Christmas, a desperate drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry
