Description:

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.

This edition reproduces the corrected text of **As I Lay Dying ** as established in 1985 by Noel Polk.
