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 hapless 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.
