Selected by the Modern Library as one of the 100 best novels of all time
One of William Faulkner’s finest novels, As I Lay Dying, originally published in 1930, remains a captivating and stylistically innovative work.
As I Lay Dying is Faulkner’s harrowing account of the Bundren family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Told in turns by each of the family members—including Addie herself—the novel ranges in mood from dark comedy to the deepest pathos.
Told through multiple voices, As I Lay Dying vividly brings to life Faulkner’s imaginary South, one of literature’s great-invented landscapes, and is replete with the poignant, impoverished, violent, and hypnotically fascinating characters that were his trademark., this edition reproduces the corrected text of As I Lay Dying as established in 1985 by Faulkner expert Noel Polk.
