Faulkner’s haunting tale of the Bundren family’s odyssey across the Mississippi countryside to bury their matriarch, Addie. Told through multiple perspectives, the novel weaves a tapestry of Southern Gothic tragedy and dark humor. As the family confronts floods, fire, and their own demons, we’re drawn into a world where grief and duty collide with shocking revelations. I found myself captivated by Faulkner’s stream-of-consciousness style, feeling as if I too was on this ill-fated journey.
My mother is a fish.
