"A reiver (that's a cheat, a liar, a brawler and womanizer) the description fits Boon Hogganbeckand he had just four days to teach young Lucius the facts of life (like cheating, lying, brawling and womanizing). Faulkner received a second Pulitzer Prize for this, his last novel. The Reivers is a comic novel that tells of three unlikely car thieves from rural Mississippi - eleven-year-old Lucius "Loosh" Priest; a worker for Loosh's grandfather, Boon Hogganbeck; and the family's black coachman, Ned McCaslin. When they steal Loosh's grandfather's car to go on a joyride to Memphis, they embark upon a picaresque adventure involving horse smuggling, sheriff's deputies, jail, and Miss Reba's brothel." Made into a movie of the same name starring Steve McQueen in 1969."
