From Nobel Prize winning author William Faulkner, As I Lay Dying is a masterpiece of Southern Gothic literature and one of the best books of the twentieth century. This gorgeous edition includes a set of brand-new illustrations. As she nears the end of her life, Addie Bundren wants nothing more than to be buried in her native Jefferson, Mississippi, far from the miserable backwater surroundings of her married life. A captivating and stylistically innovative work, the narrative revolves around the grim, yet darkly humorous, pilgrimage as the Bundren family sets out to fulfill her last wish. Told from fifteen different points of view over fifty-nine chapters, As I Lay Dying vividly brings to life Faulkner’s imaginary South, and is replete with poignant, complex, violent, and fascinating characters. Full list of narrators: Jim Meskimen, David Stifel, Andrew Eiden, Adam Verner, Tim Campbell, Edoardo Ballerini, Sean Pratt, Dion Graham, Elizabeth Wiley, Charlie Thurston, Amanda Stribling, Joe Barrett, Elisabeth Rodgers, Nick Sullivan, Shaun Taylor-Corbett.
