Victory in Two Moves - Modern Classics

Prosecutor Gavin Stevens is at the center of Victory in Two Moves, which brings together William Faulkner's detective stories: He is a "Southerner" who knows the region where he was born and raised and its people very well, and who studied at Harvard and Heidelberg, and who does translations from ancient Greek. an intellectual. Stevens will be supported by his knowledge of these two worlds while solving the murders committed in Faulkner's epic geography, Yoknapatawpha. The local people, who follow the events in an atmosphere of gossip, and his teenage nephew Charles, who does not leave Stevens' side and whose events we follow through his consciousness, accompany the reader in these stories.

With the addition of the last long story, which is included in this book for the first time in Turkish and has the length and depth of a novel, to the first five previously published stories, Faulkner's detective world is completed in Turkish.

In these stories that push the limits of classical detective fiction, there are portraits of a geography and its people ranging from local to universal, as well as a sharp intelligence that sheds light on the murders.

Six masterful detective stories are presented in a language that carries something of the anger of the people who inhabit these pages: a language that is both violent and controlled, restrained and attacking. -The New York Times
