As I Lay Dying is Faulkner's harrowing account of the Bundren family's odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. As they carry Addie in a homemade coffin, pulled along by a team of mules, the Bundrens are haunted by greed and fear—their journey both mocks and confirms our humanity. Their story is told in turn by each of the family members—including Addie herself—as well as those they encounter on their way. This fractured viewpoint epitomizes Faulkner's visceral modernist style, as the varied voices reveal secrets, expose desires, and bring back the dead. A benchmark achievement and one of the most influential novels in American fiction, As I Lay Dying not only endures but prevails. Penguin Random House Canada is proud to bring you classic works of literature in e-book form, with the highest quality production values.

One of the great observers of Australian life, Henry Lawson looms large in our national psyche. Yet at his best Lawson transcends the very bush, the very outback, the very up-country, the very pub or selector's hut he conveys with such brevity and acuity: he make specific places universal. Henry Lawson is too often regarded as a legend rather than a writer to be enjoyed. In this selection Lawson is revealed as an author whose delightful, humorous, wry and moving short stories continue to delight generations of readers. This is the essential Lawson collection - the classic of Australian classics. 'Lawson's sketches are beyond praise.'Joseph Conrad 'Lawson gets more feelings, observation and atmosphere into a page than does Hemingway.'Edward Garnett

"This Norton Critical Edition of As I Lay Dying, second edition, features William Faulkner's experimental Southern novel with editorial annotations. This canonical twentieth-century work centers on the Bundren family following the death of matriarch Addie Bundren. The story uses fifteen separate and largely unreliable narrators to describe the arduous trip that the surviving members of the family make to bury Addie in Jefferson, Mississippi. The "Backgrounds and Contexts" section covers Faulkner, his work, and early receptions of the novel. A variety of theoretical essays can be found in the "Criticism" section on topics including grief, matricide, and narration. A chronology and selected bibliography are also included in this edition"--
