#AdventOfBooks 2024 Day 3: As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner #Bookstodon
The story of a poor family's travails as they try to honour their wife and mother's wish to be buried in her hometown in the US South.
It took me a bit of time to get into the book, but I really enjoyed the stream-of-consciousness narration and the cast of larger than life characters. I was expecting the book to be grotesque and macabre, but I wasn't expecting it to be as funny as I ended up finding it.

1. The cover of "As I Lay Dying" by William Faulker. The title is written in a shaky handwritten scribble in the bottom third of the cover, on a textured paper background. The top third is a painting of a muddy dirt road in the countryside, completely devoid of people, in tones of brown and muddy green
