 | Sanctuary by William Faulkner
SANCTUARY is Faulkner's most notorious novel; its sensational subject matter was particularly disturbing to the inhabitants of his home town of Oxford, Mississippi, many of whom felt Faulkner presented a distorted picture of their community. The novel tells the story of Temple Drake, an Alabama debutante who falls under the influence of a sinister bootlegger named Popeye. In the introduction to Sanctuary (one of the few introductions he wrote), Faulkner admits that the book was a cheap idea, because it was deliberately conceived to make money. (SANCTUARY was in fact his only best-seller.) Faulkner liked to boast that he wrote the novel in three weeks, but he also revised it extensively before final publication. AUTHOR: William Faulkner

 | Great, Silly Grin by Humphrey Carpenter
Humphrey Carpenter's A GREAT SILLY GRIN is both a thoughtful history and a great deal of fun. The British satire boom of the early 1960s created a motherlode of styles and material for generations of bright comedians and social critics on both sides of the Atlantic and set a standard for clever humor that still shapes comedy and commentary in America today. AUTHOR: Humphrey Carpenter
