Get Lit”: William Faulkner’s “As I Lay Dying” (Episode 1)

A recording from Monday’s live video | Brad and Matt discuss a long trip to bury a mother who is a fish, a horse, and nothing at all.www.Racket.newsGet Lit continues today with William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying, a novel that, far more even than Cash Bundren’s coffin above, involves a significant amount of craftsmanship. The story of a dead matriarch and her family’s 40-mile journey of dubious necessity to bury her is told through fifteen narrators across over sixty sections. The means are unconventional, the end controversial, and Brad and I will discuss it this afternoon, hopefully with many of you. This is a public episode.
