About As I Lay Dying
As I Lay Dying begins with the death of Addie Bundren, whose dying wish is to be buried in the nearby town of Jefferson beside her relatives. Her husband and children therefore embark on a journey there with her coffin in tow, which quickly brings secrets and conflicts among them to light – particularly with regard to Addie’s second son, Darl, who seems to harbour uncanny insight into the world around him and delights in using it to his advantage. Faulkner uses innovative narrative techniques to explore the realities of life in rural Mississippi, as well as the complexities of life and death.
About William Faulkner
William Faulkner was one of the most influential American authors of the 20th century. He grew up in rural Mississippi, which also serves as the setting for many of his novels.

He was awarded the 1949 Nobel Prize in Literature, and continued to write until shortly before his death in 1962.This practical and insightful reading guide offers a complete summary and analysis of As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner.
