Description

Among Bill Faulkner’s best books, When I Lay Dying, originally released in 1930, remains a fascinating and stylistically modern function. The tale revolves around a harsh yet darkly funny pilgrimage, as Addie Bundren’s household sets out to satisfy her last wish: to be buried in her local Jefferson, Mississippi, not even close to the unhappy backwater environments of her wedded life. Informed through numerous sounds, When I Lay Dying strongly brings alive Faulkner’s mythical South, among literature’s excellent developed areas, and is stuffed with all the touching, impoverished, violent, and hypnotically interesting figures which were his hallmark. Plus a new Foreword by Elizabeth.
