After his first appearance in Knight's Gambit, Gavin deals with racial problems as a lawyer in Light inAugust, Go Down, Moses and Intruder in the Dust. In these works, however, his characterization is similar to thatof Knight's Gambit. In Knight's Gambit, he solves a mystery as a detective and his judgment is accepted asinfallible. Nevertheless, in the other three works whose style is different from a detective story's, Gavin'sdetective-like character is not ideally described and his judgment becomes unreliable. In these stories whosethemes are so complicated and socially realistic as racism, it is difficult to solve a problem like a detective in adetective story. In this paper, I would like to look into the figure of Gavin Stevens not only in Light in August, GoDown, Moses and Intruder in the Dust but also in Knight's Gambit, and the interconnection between hisdetective-like character in Knight's Gambit and his role as a spokesman for a Southern community in Light inAugust, Go Down, Moses and Intruder in the Dust.}, pages = {53--60}, title = {Gavin Stevens in Knight's Gambit, Light in August, Go Down, Moses, and Intruder in the Dust}, volume = {3}, year = {2009}, yomi = {ウナガミ , ノブヨ} }
