Faulkner's last novel, THE REIVERS, won the Pulitzer Prize. An essentially comic novel, it tells the story of 11-year-old Lucius "Loosh" Priest; Boon Hogganbeck, who works for Loosh's grandfather; and the black chauffeur, Ned McCaslin. The three embark on a picaresque adventure, stealing Loosh's grandfather's Winton Flyer automobile to go on a joyride to Memphis, where they become involved in a horse smuggling scheme, spend time in jail, and end up at Miss Reba's brothel.
