It begins with a train journey on which two American soldiers, Joe Gilligan and Julian Lowe, are returning from the First World War. There they meet a scarred, lethargic, and withdrawn fighter pilot, Donald Mahon, who was presumed dead by his family. The novel continues to focus on Mahon and his slow deterioration, and the various romantic complications that arise upon his return home...Though the novel was a commercial failure at the time of its publication, Faulkner's subsequent fame has ensured its long-term success" (Standard Books). Over time, the themes of psychological damage and ideological disillusionment that were so uncomfortable to readers just emerging from the war came to be praised for their rawness and honesty.
