As I Lay Dying

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.

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.
