Titles include:
As I Lay Dying
This novel is the harrowing account of the Bundren familyâ‚¬s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury Addie, their wife and mother. Told in turns by each of the family membersâ‚¬â€œincluding Addie herselfâ‚¬â€œthe novel ranges in mood from dark comedy to the deepest pathos. Originally published in 1930.

The Sound and the Fury
First published in 1929, Faulkner created his â‚¬Å“heartâ‚¬s darling,â‚¬Â the beautiful and tragic Caddy Compson, whose story Faulkner told through separate monologues by her three brothersâ‚¬â€œthe idiot Benjy, the neurotic suicidal Quentin and the monstrous Jason.

Light in August
Light in August, a novel about hopeful perseverance in the face of mortality, features some of Faulknerâ‚¬s most memorable characters: guileless, dauntless Lena Grove, in search of the father of her unborn child; Reverend Gail Hightower, who is plagued by visions of Confederate horsemen; and Joe Christmas, a desperate, mysterious drifter consumed by his mixed ancestry. Originally published in 1932.
