Beskrivelse
'As I Lay Dying' is a 1930 novel, in the genre of Southern Gothic by American author William Faulkner. 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. 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.Faulkner's greatest work-The New York Review of BooksOne of the most perplexing novels of the modernist canon-The Conversation
