Ainda não disponível em português — exibindo a versão em inglês.

"Dry September" is a short story by William Faulkner. Published in 1931, it describes a lynch mob forming (despite ambiguous evidence) on a hot September evening to avenge an alleged (and unspecified) insult or attack upon a white woman by a black watchman, Will. Told in five parts, the story includes the perspective of the rumored female victim, Miss Minnie Cooper, and of the mob's leader, John McLendon. It is one of Faulkner's shorter stories. It was originally published in the January 1931 edition of Scribner's magazine, and later appeared in collections of his short stories. The story is in the American public as of January 1, 2026 as its copyright was registered in late 1930. It includes an appearance by Hawkshaw, the barber who was the focus of Faulkner's later story "Hair".
