About this book

A poor Mississippi family loads their dead mother into a wagon and sets out to bury her in the town she came from, and almost everything that can go wrong on the road does. William Faulkner published this short, radical novel in 1930, telling the Bundrens' journey through fifty-nine brief chapters and fifteen narrators, each voice pressing in with its own grief, guilt, and private motive. Flood, fire, decay, and Anse Bundren's stubborn selfishness turn a simple errand into a grim, blackly funny ordeal. Faulkner's stream-of-consciousness form lets us hear thought as it forms, raw and unguarded. It stands among the boldest works of American modernism and rewards close, patient reading. This free PDF and EPUB edition makes it easy to begin.

About the author

William Faulkner

William Faulkner (1897 to 1962) was an American novelist from Mississippi and one of the towering figures of modern literature. He won the 1949 Nobel Prize and two Pulitzers, setting most of his fiction in the imagined Yoknapatawpha County and pioneering the fractured, stream-of-consciousness style that defined it.
