''The Reivers'' is a 1962 novel by Creator/WilliamFaulkner.
Lucius Priest is an 11-year-old boy, son of a well-to-do family in Yoknapatawpha County, Mississippi, in the first decade of the 20th century. His grandfather is rich enough to buy an automobile, one of the first ever seen in the county. The automobile becomes crucial to the plot when protagonist Boon Hoggenbeck, employed by the Priests as a stablehand, steals it while most of the Priest family is away following the death of Lucius's grandfather. Boon's goal is to drive the car from Jackson to Memphis to see one Miss Corrie, a prostitute whom Boon occasionally patronizes. Boon hopes to get Corrie to marry him.
Boon enlists Lucius to help him steal Grandfather Priest's car and go off on the joyride to Memphis. They are surprised to find that Ned [=McCaslin=], a black man and another employee of the Priests, has stowed away in the back of the car. A madcap adventure ensues.
William Faulkner's last novel, published just a month before his July 1962 death. Drolly humorous in tone, recalling Creator/MarkTwain and ''Literature/TheAdventuresOfHuckleberryFinn'' more than the dark, heavy SouthernGothic dramas that formed most of William Faulkner's work.
In 1969 it was adapted into a film starring Creator/SteveMcQueen as Boon.
