20 Th Century Light In August
1,206 wordsa mans future is inherent in that man -Faulkner Faulkners Light in August is a metaphor. In fact it is many metaphors, almost infinitely many. It is a jumble of allusions, themes, portraits, all of them uniquely important, many of them totally unrelated.

So obviously it would be fool...
