This well-worn copy of William Faulkner’s seminal novel “As I Lay Dying” is a testament to its enduring impact on American literature. Published in 1930, the novel’s innovative stream-of-consciousness narrative style and exploration of the Bundren family’s journey to bury their matriarch became a landmark of modernist fiction. Faulkner’s masterful use of multiple perspectives, including that of the deceased Addie Bundren, challenged traditional storytelling conventions and cemented his reputation as a literary pioneer. Despite its initial mixed reception, “As I Lay Dying” is now widely regarded as one of the greatest novels of the 20th century, a haunting and poetic examination of the human condition. This first Vintage edition from 1990 offers collectors and readers alike the opportunity to immerse themselves in Faulkner’s groundbreaking work, a book that has influenced countless writers and continues to inspire literary discourse.
