Description
As I Lay Dying Book Description: A unique work that represents a radical innovation in the writing technique of William Faulkner, one of the great modernist novelists of the 20th century. On her deathbed, Addie requests to be buried next to her family in the Jefferson Cemetery, forty miles away. Loading Addie's coffin onto a mule cart, the Bundren family sets out on a long journey, struggling with heat and floods. As I Lay Dying consists of fifty-nine chapters told by fifteen different narrators. The family's adventure, full of anger, sadness, anxiety and passion, combines with the rhythm of the flow passing through the characters' minds. Using the stream of consciousness technique with striking competence, Faulkner's characters "seem to have turned inward with their eyes and voices and begun to listen to their cries." This novel by Faulkner, who has an extraordinary talent for poetizing prose, is the epic of intuition, sensitivities, inner voices and emptiness. "As I Lay Dying can be said to be the most original novel written by an American. Faulkner is among the greatest novelists of the 20th century." -Harold Bloom- (From the Promotional Bulletin) Number of Pages: 222Print Year: 2015Language: TurkishPublisher: İletişim Yayıncılık
