About “Sartoris”

Returning home to Jefferson, Mississippi, after the First World War, young Bayard Sartoris mourns the death of his twin brother, John. His marriage to Narcissa Benbow offers some stability, but his recklessness increases over time, leading to the downfall of the Sartoris family.

Sartoris is a story about a declining family dealing with the effects of war, exploring themes of social class and family life in the post-war American South. The novel was written by William Faulkner.
