Addie Bundren is dying, and her family has promised to bury her in her hometown of Jefferson. William Faulkner's 1930 novel follows the Bundrens' harrowing journey across flooded rivers and through fire with her coffin, told in fifty-nine short monologues by fifteen different narrators, each given its own voice in this full-cast reading.
