A young woman disappears into a world where the law does not reach. Abduction, violence, and trial, all unfold with terrible clarity and no relief. Nobody intervenes, no one answers, nothing is repaired. Sanctuary exposes a system that continues to function even as it ceases to protect. Institutions hold their shape but their force is gone. Power acts freely. Consequence recedes. Still disturbing, still exact, Faulkner's novel endures equally for the clarity of its vision as for its refusal to offer any way out.

Über Autor(innen)

William Faulkner (1897–1962), Nobel laureate and architect of Yoknapatawpha County, pushed the American novel into new territory, formally, morally, and psychologically. In Sanctuary, he turned that power toward a single purpose: to confront, without mitigation, the violence beneath the surface of ordinary life.
