L. Doctorow\n\n“Faulkner wanted to write a tour-de-force and he did. . . . It is a virtuosic piece, displaying everything that this writer has at his disposal.”—E. L. Doctorow, from the Foreword\n\nOne of William Faulkner’s finest novels, As I Lay Dying, originally published in 1930, remains a captivating and stylistically innovative work. The story revolves around a grim yet darkly humorous pilgrimage, as Addie Bundren’s family sets out to fulfill her last wish: to be buried in her native Jefferson, Mississippi, far from the miserable backwater surroundings of her married life. Told through multiple voices, As I Lay Dying vividly brings to life Faulkner’s imaginary South, one of literature’s great invented landscapes, and is replete with the poignant, impoverished, violent, and hypnotically fascinating characters that were his trademark.\n\nAlong with a Foreword by E. L. Doctorow, this edition reproduces the corrected text of As I Lay Dying as established in 1985 by Faulkner expert Noel Polk.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0375504524\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.0375504524.VG\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Very Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Faulkner, William|Doctorow, E.L.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Pages are clean with no markings.
