As I Lay Dying

‘As I Lay Dying’ is a 1930 novel, in the genre of Southern Gothic by American author William Faulkner. 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. 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. "Faulkner’s greatest work"—The New York Review of Books "One of the most perplexing novels of the modernist canon"—The Conversation
