	Faulkner's Light in August
		William Faulkner’s Light in August is, at first glance, a novel very regional in character.
		Faulkner presents in Light in August a reason for this perpetual conflict, showing the necessity and inevitability of this conflict between traditional and modern through his triad of characters Joe Christmas, Joanna Burden, and Percy Grimm.
		Throughout Light in August, the character of Joe Christmas struggles with his own racial identity crisis a microcosm of the Southern “identity crisis.” In the American South, issues of racial relations on a large scale remained unresolved, as is clear from efforts of the period to maintain the social hierarchy from the traditional past.

		LIGHT IN AUGUST is one of Faulkner's knottier works, layered with braided plotlines and themes.
		It could just as well be a work of science fiction, set as it is in a post-apocalyptic world, where cast-up survivors stagger about in a frightful disconnect, trying to reconstruct meaning and a code to live by.
		In "Light In August", I was entranced by the dialogue and the streams of consciousness which revealed the characters and their world to the reader.

	SparkNotes: Light in August: Context
		Born in New Albany, Mississippi, in 1897, he is best known for a series of seminal novels that explore the South’s historical legacy, its fraught and often tensely violent present, and its uncertain future.
		As he does in many of his novels, Faulkner takes a decidedly modernist approach in Light in August, abandoning a conventional, linear story in order to recount the inner lives and motivations of his characters.
		Light in August is steeped in violence, preoccupied with the distortions and distractions of religion and racism—perhaps influenced by the fact that Faulkner started the novel soon after his wife, Estelle, gave birth to a daughter who died after only a few days in January 1931.

	CNN - Scientists discover key to Io light show - August 5, 1999
		By viewing images through filters that picked up different light wavelengths and colors, Geissler's team singled out glowing blue gas plumes at Io's equator, a fainter red glow along the moon's northern edge and a green glow against the night side of Io.
		At Io, the blue light is the result of supersonic gas plumes associated with the moon's many volcanoes, reaching up as high as 800 km (500 miles) above Io's surface, Geissler said.
		The red component of Io's auroras, thought to indicate the presence of oxygen, is sensitive to a donut-shaped cloud of charged particles that surrounds Jupiter at an angle and tugs waves of light back and forth between Io's north and south poles, Geissler said.

	Life Blood: Imagery in Faulkner's Light in August
		For example, a prince might be defined by his "royal blood," or a weak man described as having "thin blood." Close friends may be "blood brothers," or families may have a "blood feud." In William Faulkner's Light in August, the image of blood permeates the themes of sexuality, race, and religion.
		Blood is common to all of these themes: it is evident in reproductive cycles and births, it is a medium for the genetic passage of race from one generation to the next, and it serves as a symbol of life or death in many religions.
		Whether it is a definition of race, a definition of sin or godliness, or a definition of the essence of females, the image of blood influences Christmas's perception of the world around him.

	Red Light August - OCF Review
		Because of the aforementioned argument, when I popped a cassette of Red Light August into my VCR I expected this movie to be the OCD equivalent of the Blair Witch Project; very hip, but with low production values.
		The words, “Red Light” can refer to a number of things including the locale of the movie (a “red light” district)...”red” being a emotional, “sexual” color...the color of Boothe’s blood which he uses in his “secret” painting...or even, “Red Light” being a pure, intense red paint color used by artists.
		My one criticism with Red Light August was that it was so involving, and so well done, that just when the major characters were developed...the film was over.

		The fl figure of a solitary man is evocative of the same mood as that suggested by the single cabin highlighted by various rays of light which Smith selected for the jacket of the first American edition.
		Two later paperback editions accomplish the same: a man standing facing an empty road and the single noose starkly drawn against a background of bright light.
		The novel works with themes Faulkner used before: extreme isolation of the individual in the modern world, the divided and alienated self, the individual (like Bayard Sartoris, Quentin Compson, and Joe Christmas) who cannot relate to his society and thus cannot establish a human identity.

		I always recommend Light in August to people who say that Faulkner is impenetrable.
		If "Light in August" lacks the epic sweep of "Absalom," along with the intense interior monologues of the female characters, it offers what might be considered Faulkner's most "theological" view of a fallen but redeemable humanity.

		No Light in August is a startling debut, too, with Hart sounding like she has an infinitely older soul than is healthy for any 19 year old.
		So while her debut has its few moments of influence-on-sleeve songwriting, Hart is already hitting her stride on No Light in August.

		Devoid of explicit chronological order, William Faulkner's unique technique of writing is a maze which pulls the reader through plot twists and into the complex world of his characters.
		In Light in August, one could easily become perplexed if the concealed hints in his style were removed.
		However, Faulkner uses stream of consciousness, symbols, and even destruction of chronology intentionally to stress the importance of history; and furthermore, to enter the consciousness of the characters and explain their actions.
