Items related to Soldier's Pay
A group of soldiers travel by train across the United States in the aftermath of the First World War. One of them is horribly scarred, blind and almost entirely mute. Moved by his condition, a few civilian fellow travellers decided to see him home to Georgia, to a family who believed him dead, and a fiancée who grew tired of waiting. Faulkner's first novel deals powerfully with lives blighted by war.

Review:
"By universal consent of critics and common readers, Faulkner is now recognised as the strongest American novelist of the century, clearly surpassing Ernest Hemingway and Scott Fitzgerald, and standing as an equal in the sequence that includes Hawthorne, Melville, Mark Twain and Henry James" (Harold Bloom)
"There is no writer living who can play upon a scene the rich and Rembrandtesque flame that Faulkner commands" (Evening Standard)
"His prose style is all his own, often sensuously alert, evocative, graceful" (Daily Telegraph)
