As I Lay Dying

This is my first Faulkner(If I don't count the short story ‘ a rose for Emily'). If we get past what feels like a nonsensical ramble and connect the dots from all the POVs (yeah it has multiple narrators which made it more special because all of the emotions and perspectives are conveyed with more rawness to the reader), the book is very enjoyable well more like reflective and stimulating. I love how Faulkner epitomized death and religion throughout the whole novel. Not only that it also portrays the duality and hypocrisy of many characters, especially Addie's husband Anse who acted like a hero and a great husband but in reality, he was someone who only thinks about himself and his interests . I am sure I have missed or looked past many symbolic representations and I only have understood some of them but I have very much enjoyed Faulkner's symbolic representations it introduces a whole another level to the premise.

I would suggest you read it if you like a deep, depressing and somewhat challenging read.
