Description

The death and burial of Addie Bundren is told by members of her family as they cart the coffin to Jefferson, Mississippi, to bury her among her people. As the intense desires, fears, and rivalries of the family are revealed in the vernacular of the Deep South, Faulkner presents a portrait of extraordinary power — as epic as the Old Testament, as American as Huckleberry Finn.
