It is one of the few novels by Faulkner set outside his fictional Yoknapatawpha County taking place in a thinly disguised New Orleans named New Valois. Plot SummaryThe narrative centers on a transient and unconventional flying team participating in an air show during Mardi Gras. The team includes a pilot Roger Shumann a parachutist Laverne a mechanic Jiggs and Laverne's young son. They live a precarious hand-to-mouth existence constantly moving between air shows. An unnamed local newspaper reporter becomes fascinated by their disorderly and rootless lives. He gets deeply involved with the group attempting to understand their modern unconventional relationships and existence which eventually leads to tragic consequences. ThemesThe novel explores several themes including:<ul><li><strong>Modernity vs. Tradition:</strong> The flyers represent a modern rootless existence that clashes with traditional values. </li><li><strong>Survival and Motivation:</strong> The characters are driven by the need for survival in a dangerous profession. </li><li><strong>Loss of Human Values:</strong> The story is considered an important meditation on the loss of human values in the face of modernity. </li></ul> hardcover
