About this listen
A true 20th-century classic from the Nobel Prize-winning author of The Sound and the Fury: the famed harrowing account of the Bundren family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother.
As I Lay Dying is one of the most influential novels in American fiction in structure, style, and drama. 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.
“I set out deliberately to write a tour-de-force. Before I ever put pen to paper and set down the first word I knew what the last word would be and almost where the last period would fall.”—William Faulkner on As I Lay Dying
This edition reproduces the corrected text of As I Lay Dying as established in 1985 by Noel Polk.

A struggle...
Struggled to finish. An impressive concept by Faulkner but struggled with the many and varied characters and their specific language and thought processes.

Finally finished it
I was supposed to read this at uni, back in the day. The concept of different voices and points of view was probably revolutionary in its time. It has many perspectives that are unheard (proto-woke) but ordinary people aren’t very profound. The author captures the voices of rural America… The reading is too good, poor people don’t actually talk that way, they are poor and uneducated; they are not professional actors doing a side job.
Another mystery solved.
