Considered one of the most influential novels in American fiction in structure, style, and drama, ''As I Lay Dying'' is a true 20th-century classic. The story revolves around a grim yet darkly humorous pilgrimage, as Addie Bundren''s family sets out to fulfil her last wish-to be buried in her native Jefferson, Mississippi, far from the miserable backwater surroundings of her married life. Narrated in turn by each of the family members-including Addie herself-as well as others, the novel ranges in mood, from dark comedy to the deepest pathos.
