Synopsis
GO DOWN, MOSES is a cycle of seven interrelated episodes (including the much-anthologized story, "The Bear") examining the complex, changing relationships among the descendents of the McCaslin family in Faulkner's mythical Yoknapatawpha County, in northern Mississippi. The novel recounts the early days of Lucius Quintus Carothers McCaslin, and continues through the lives of his many descendants, both black and white, in a noteworthy exploration of race and miscegenation, and of the impact on the rural population of the South's vanishing wilderness.

Publisher's Notes
First Line: "Isaac McCaslin, 'Uncle Ike,' past seventy and nearer eighty than he ever corroborated any more, a widower now and uncle to half a county and father to no one."
Industry Reviews
"In 'Go Down, Moses', Faulkner comes most passionately to grips with the moral implications of slavery, the American land, progress and materialism, tradition and moral identity--all major themes of the American novel."
Ralph Ellison
