As I Lay Dying

the long version

Faulkner's distinctive narrative structures - the uses of multiple points of view and the inner psychological voices of the characters - in one of its most successful incarnations here in As I Lay Dying. In the story, the members of the Bundren family must take the body of Addie, matriarch of the family, to the town where Addie wanted to be buried. Along the way, we listen to each of the members on the macabre pilgrimage, while Faulkner heaps upon them various flavors of disaster.Drama / Ficção
