As I Lay Dying

This classic novel follows the Bundren family as they make a harrowing journey to bury their wife and mother, Addie, in the Mississippi countryside. Narrated by each family member, including Addie herself, the book ranges from dark comedy to deep pathos. A true 20th-century classic, As I Lay Dying is considered one of the most influential novels in American fiction, and this edition features the corrected text as established in 1985 by Noel Polk.
