Napisana w 1930 roku jedna z najznakomitszych powieści Faulknera, opowiadająca o rodzinie Bundrensów*, "biednych białych" z Południa, łączy elementy bohaterstwa i groteski, grozy i komizmu, humoru i makabry. Postaci Williama Faulknera mają w sobie prawdę ludzką, która wzrusza nas bardziej niż egotyzm opisywanego środowiska. Nie możemy pozostać obojętni wobec kłopotów, ubogich radości, przeżyć tych ludzi, choć są tak poniżeni i pozornie odczłowieczeni.

2.0 As I Lay Dying
Is it an impossible thing to say that you didn't like a classic? I still appreciate this novel and I am somehow glad I read it, but I was not able to get into the story at all, which is a pity, because it actually is a good plot and storyline despite Faulkner's style of writing, which I seem not to ...

As I've gotten older I find I am more receptive to the comedy in canonical authors such as Faulkner and Joyce. Early on the impression I worked from was one of reverence that event their wordplay was poetic and meaningful and should evoke awe, which is part of it, but I've come to understand that a ...
