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. Told through multiple voices, \u003ci\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/i\u003e vividly brings to life Faulkner’s imaginary South, one of literature’s great invented landscapes, and is replete with the poignant, impoverished, violent, and hypnotically fascinating characters that were his trademark.

Doctorow, this edition reproduces the corrected text of \u003ci\u003eAs I Lay Dying\u003c\/i\u003e as established in 1985 by Faulkner expert Noel Polk.\u003c\/p\u003e\n                                    \u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n                                    \u003cp\u003eWILLIAM FAULKNER was born in New Albany, Mississippi, on September 25, 1897.
