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. Narrated in turn by each of the family members
-- including Addie herself -- as well as others; the novel ranges in
mood, from dark comedy to the deepest pathos. Considered one of the
most influential novels in American fiction in structure, style, and
drama, As I Lay Dying is a true 20th-century classic.
