    Focused on the efforts of the Bundren family to honor Addie Bundren’s request that she be buried in town, As I Lay Dying depicts the sacrifices made on the journey to uncover the underlying brutality of the Bundren family. Told from more than a dozen perspectives, the journey uncovers the disparate ways in which Addie’s children experience her death and burial. We will use the Vintage Classics edition of the text.
