As I Lay Dying
by William Faulkner
“A family's promise to the dead becomes a journey into madness.”
The Bundren family embarks on a darkly comic odyssey to honor their matriarch Addie's dying wish to be buried in her hometown. Told through fifteen different voices, this modernist masterpiece reveals each family member's secrets, obsessions, and private anguish as the journey descends into a surreal nightmare of flood, fire, and existential despair.
