 VQR Fiction Lucas Beauchamp an unpublished story by William Faulkner   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
As detailed in my book Faulkner's "Intruder in the Dust": A Critical Study of the Typescripts (1980), Faulkner went on to compose two main drafts of this novel in a relatively short period of time.
Ober's records reveal that he received from Random House, Faulkner's publisher, an excerpt of Intruder in the Dust, entitled "Lucas Beauchamp," on May 12, which consisted of pages extracted from the typescript of the novel (approximately the first 27 pages--with minor differences--of the published novel).
In a marginal note in the setting copy of Intruder in the Dust, after the narrator declares "He [Chick] was free," there appears (though not in Faulkner's hand) the phrase "End of suggested story." At this point the story's history becomes less clear.

Brooks believes that Gavin does not speak for Faulkner, and that appears to be true, since Gavin's thoughts are often disorganized and not always logical.
In Intruder in the Dust, he does shed some light on mob mentality and the twisted thinking of whites, who were able to set aside what were otherwise often decent moral standards to commit heinous crimes, and then go home to the milking and plowing with a clear conscience.
