Fiction
One of William Faulkner's finest novels, As I Lay Dying was
originally published in 1930, and remains a captivating and
stylistically innovative work. The story revolves around a
grim yet darkly humorous pilgrimage, as Addie Bundren's
family sets out to fulfill her last wish: to be buried in
her native Jefferson, Mississippi, far from the miserable
backwater surroundings of her married life. Told through
multiple voices, it vividly brings to life Faulkner's
imaginary South, one of the great invented landscapes in all
of literature, and is replete with the poignant,
impoverished, violent, and hypnotically fascinating
characters that were his trademark.
