As they transport their mother's coffin to her birthplace in
Jackson, members of the Bundren family take it in turns to tell
their different versions of events, revealing their very different
relationships to the deceased. This is a model study of the often
obsessive nature of family relationships - a unique mixture of
Southern gothic and modernist psychological exploration. (Kirkus
UK)
Successive episodes in the death and burial of Addie Bundren are recounted by various members of the family circle, principally as they are carting their mother's coffin to Jefferson, Mississippi, in order to bury her among her people. As the desires and fears and rivalries of the family are revealed in the vernacular speech of the South, the author builds up an impression as epic as the old Testament, as earthly and comic as Chaucer, as American as HUCKLEBERRY FINN.
