As I Lay Dying

by William Faulkner

As I Lay Dying Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

At the heart of this 1930 novel is the Bundren family's bizarre journey to Jefferson to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Faulkner lets each family member--including Addie--and others along the way tell their private responses to Addie's life.

Review:

--Robert Penn Warren
