Like many of his novels, it is set in Jefferson, the seat of the fictional Yoknapatawpha County in Mississippi, based on Faulkner's childhood experiences in Oxford. Specifically, it tells the story of Lucas Beauchamp, an elderly African American famer, who is accused of murdering a white man. When a growing mob threatens to lynch Beauchamp, sixteen-year-old Chick Mallison, who had long sought to repay a debt to Beauchamp for kindness he received in the past, works with two fellow townspeople to clear the accused's name. Although he won for his entire body of work rather than this novel alone, Intruder in the Dust helped Faulkner achieve the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1949.
