VIRTUAL & IN-PERSON MEETING

As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner

Addie Bundren is dying and makes her husband promise to bury her in her hometown of Jefferson, Mississippi. Narrated by 15 different characters over 59 chapters, Faulkner's 5th novel, about the efforts, both honorable and selfish, of Addie's husband and five children to honor her wish, is consistently ranked among the best novels of the 20th century.

Moderated by Readers Advisory Librarian Cindy Haiken. To participate and for details about meeting virtually or in-person, contact Cindy at chaiken@wallingfordlibrary.org.
