As I Lay Dying

As I Lay Dying is Faulkner’s daring, multi-layered epic which follows the Bundren family as they brave flood, fire and family strife on an odyssey across the wilds of Mississippi to bury their mother. Narrated in the conflicting voices of the seven Bundrens and the many characters they encounter on their journey, this harrowing story explores the absurdity of endurance suffered purely for endurance’s sake. A gut-wrenching tale whose moods range from blackest humor to deepest pathos.
