Kurzbeschreibung
First published in 1930, "As I Lay Dying" has long been recognised not only as one of William Faulkner's greatest works, but also as the most accessible of his major novels. This edition is based on the 1985 corrected text and is accompanied by annotations.
Über den Autor
William Faulkner, am 25. September 1897 in New Albany im Staat Missisippi/USA geboren, wuchs in der Nachbarstadt Oxford auf. Im I. Weltkrieg war er Kampfflieger. Nach seiner Rückkehr studierte er Literatur, schlug sich danach in verschiedenen handwerklichen Berufen durch, arbeitete aber auch als Journalist. Schließlich ließ er sich in seiner Heimatstadt als Farmer nieder. Faulkner schrieb zunächst Gedichte später Prosa. Erst die Zuerkennung des Literatur-Nobelpreises im Jahre 1949 machte ihn einem weiteren Publikum bekannt. Viele Themen zog er aus seinem eigenen Hintergrund der niedergegangenen Südstaatenwelt. Der Schriftsteller, der seine Farm in Oxford nie verlassen hat, starb dort am 6. Juli 1962 an einem Herzschlag.

As I Lay Dying--Critical Edition
21. April 2010
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Faulkner is not for everyone, I think anyone who has ever read a single page of his writing can
agree to that. Stream of consciousness dictates to the point of distraction, characters contradict
themselves, and you almost break out in a sweat as atmospherically he's nothing but pure Mississippi.
But, he's fascinating with his use of language, and, amazingly, his stories move
forward. The trials and heartache involved in seeking to transport Addie Bundren to her desired
resting place in death are so haunting that the book is nearly impossible to forget.
The newly released Norton Critical Edition is a great help in putting it all together.
There are explanatory footnotes included in the text, along with a fine introduction and critical
essays at the back.

Best Paperback Edition Yet Released
13. Oktober 2010
Format:Taschenbuch
Norton Critical Editions are often hit or miss affairs, but in this instance their execution was perfect. I shan't comment on the novel--if you're even considering it, you know it's a classic and on the short list of great American--not to mention, modern--novels ever written. What this edition does is make explicit why: it contains a series of Faulkner's commentaries on the novel from a lecture series at the University of Virginia; some excellent essays on the work by the likes of Stephen M. Ross, Cleanth Brooks, and a phenomenal formalist criticism by Eric Sundquist; as well as copious goodies interspersed, like a commentary on Faulkner's writing method and a few reprints of the novel's original drafts, both typed and handwritten. With a well written intro by Michael Gorra and a $7 (!) price tag, this is the copy to get if you're considering a little trip with the Bundrens.
EDIT: In the seven days since I posted this, Amazon has raised the price to ~14, which makes it somewhat less of a steal. I'd still recommend it, however, to anyone interested in this work as well as a thorough guide to its various nuances.

May Not Have Otherwise Read
6. November 2011
Format:Taschenbuch|Von Amazon bestätigter Kauf
Classic fiction really isn't my cup of tea. I did really enjoy Faulkner's "stream of consciousness" writing style. At first, I really fell into the story and the plight of the characters. Then I began to lose interest with the slow pace of the plot. However, towards the end, the drama increased and I got back into the story. There were some amazing lines of thought in the story that really made me think. I think my favorite was a line from Addie Bundren "... and that sin and love and fear are just sounds that people who never sinned nor loved nor feared have for what they never had and cannot have until they forget the words." Overall, As I Lay Dying was a dark novel that is deeply moving and lyrical at times, and sharply to-the-point and simple at others. Glad I read it.
