Will Stephanie want to die reading this book? Will Faulkner be the death of this friendship? The puns are just too numerous and easy this week as Stephanie reads William Faulkner’s As I Lay Dying. 

Addie Bundren’s dying wish is to be buried in her hometown, but her poor, rural family finds this to be no easy task after her passing. While her husband, Anse, leads the family on this odyssey with varying degrees of success, her five children must each deal with their mother’s death (or not) in their own way. Join Hannah and Stephanie this week as they add their own perspectives to this novel, itself written from 15 different character perspectives, and discuss everything from the Southern gothic genre to the black comedies they enjoy watching on film.
