As I Lay Dying – William Faulkner (Edition Penguin Modern Classics)

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.
