In New Orleans in 1937, a man and a woman embark on a headlong flight into the wilderness of illicit passion, fleeing her husband and the temptations of respectability. In Mississippi ten years earlier, a convict sets forth across a flooded river, risking his own chance at freedom to rescue a pregnant woman. From these separate stories Faulkner composes a symphony of deliverance and damnation, survival and self-sacrifice, a novel in which elemental danger is juxtaposed wiht fatal injuries of the spirit. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Wild Palms\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e is grandly inventive, heart-stopping in its prose, and suffused on every page with the physical presence of the country that Faulkner made his own.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookshop Apocalypse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48671821431033,"sku":null,"price":14.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3103\/1574\/files\/thewildpalms-1.jpg?v=1784147441","url":"https:\/\/bookshopapocalypse.com\/products\/the-wild-palms-by-william-faulkner-1968-paperback-signet","provider":"Bookshop Apocalypse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
