Plot summary

Hazel Motes, an aimless veteran, decides to become a Bible-thumping preacher (for a questionable concern called "The Church Without Christ") principally because he hasn't anything better lined up. Hazel links with a veteran of the hellfire-and-brimstone circuit, who for business purposes pretends to be blind. The older man persuades Hazel to blind himself for real so he can truly see the light.
