The original CliffsNotes study guides offer expert commentary on major themes, plots, characters, literary devices, and historical background. The latest generation of titles in this series also feature glossaries and visual elements that complement the classic, familiar format.

In CliffsNotes on Light in August, you meet the character of Joe Christmas, the protagonist, whom critics say is the only tragic figure in 20th-century literature. Joe's journey of self-realization and self-acceptance makes us aware that people must become a part of the community and assume responsibility not only for their own actions but also for the actions of fellow man.

This concise supplement to William Faulkner's Light in August helps you understand the overall structure of the work, actions and motivations of the characters, and the social and cultural perspectives of the author.
