Great book, great author

This book is really good if you're willing to read it. Faulkner, traditionally, is somewhat of a deterrent to many, but his writing in this novel is understandable and emotionally-charged. That said, the book is not for everyone; there are some strong themes of adultery, madness, and the cruelty of human indifference. If you decide to read this book:

1. Read it all at once.
2. Don't try too hard to understand it. It all comes together at the end.

Comic Allegory of Family

William Faulkner's As I Lay Dying is a kind of comic allegory of family, duty, honor, and pride. Scene upon scene are plainly grotesque: Addie, the Bundren ancestor, looks out of the window to see her son Cash building a coffin, her body placed in reverse to accommodate her bridal gown, the smell emanating from the box, the journey to her hometown Jefferson, the episode on the river, Cash laid on a palette atop the coffin after breaking his leg. This is an essentially comic treatment of death--and a harbinger of black comedy--but Faulkner complicates a relatively simple plot by maddening the reader with 15 different points of view. Perhaps it's as Cleanth Brooks wrote: the novel's multivocal nature highlights the human isolation within the Bundren family. Less important than The Sound and the Fury and Absalom, Absalom! in the Faulkner canon, but darkly funny if the reader can bear the relentlessly shifting perspectives.

A family drama

The story shifts point of view in this epic tale of a disfuctional family. The story is told out of order due to switching perspectives. A family comes to terms with thier mother's death. The fueding brothers Darl and Jewel take up most of this sad tale.
