The wild palms

William Faulkner (Author)
In the rural wasteland of the South two inmates escape from a penitentiary, and two lovers, Harry Wilbourne and Charlotte Rittenmeyer, run away together. These two stories, played against each other, portray four desperate people trying to flee from poverty, decadence, and the violence of a world from which there is no escape
