"The Reivers: A Reminiscence" by William Faulkner is a picturesque and humorous novel that diverges significantly from the darker, more complex works for which the author is primarily known. Published in 1962, it was Faulkner's last novel and won him the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1963.

Set in rural Mississippi in 1905, the story is narrated by Lucius Priest, who recounts a pivotal adventure from his eleven-year-old boyhood. When his grandfather's prized, virtually brand-new Winton Flyer automobilethe first car in Jeffersonis left in the care of his family, Lucius finds himself drawn into a mischievous scheme orchestrated by Boon Hogganbeck, a loyal but somewhat feckless employee of his grandfather, and Ned McCaslin, a cunning Black stable hand.
