Description
A novel that had a serious influence on all American literature. A classic of the 20th century.
“When I Lay Dying” is a harsh yet lyrical chorus of a family odyssey, where death becomes the beginning of a long, agonizing journey.
After the death of their mother, Addie Bundren, her stubborn, ridiculous, and utterly human family sets out across rural Mississippi to keep a promise: to bury her in her hometown. Each episode is told by a new voice—fragments of consciousness, plain speech, and outbursts of inner metaphor combine into a mosaic of emotional wounds and the absurdities of everyday life.
