Features: In As I Lay Dying, Faulkner portrays the rise and fall of another family in Yoknapatawpha County, the Sutpen family, and the various conflicts between people and their inner selves. As I Lay Dying is Faulkner's most important, most complex, and most epic work. It tells the story of a Southern American family's intense disintegration from 1860 to around 1910, deeply depicting the conflicts between people and their inner selves, touching on many universal issues related to the human condition. The novel has a unique narrative style; each character "explains" the past from different perspectives with different subjective emotions, but collectively they reflect the tragic tone of the entire work. The title of this book is derived from a biblical allusion. The love and hatred between parent and child, the ambiguous feelings between siblings described in the book, and other elements carry the color of biblical stories.
