摘要：William Faulkner is an American novelist of repute. He is as distinguished a novelist as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Herman Melville and Henry James. He has a large number of readers across the world. He spent much of his life in and around his beloved hometown of Oxford, Mississippi, where he worked in various odd jobs and wrote in his spare time in the years leading up to his literary fame. As a prolific writer, in 1924 he published his first book, a collection of poetry titled The Marble Faun. His fourth novel, The Sound and the Fury, published in 1929 gained him a growing audience and reputation. In this novel, as in those, which followed, Faulkner.s penchant for technical experimentation enabled him to explore the psychological complexity of his characters and their interactions more thoroughly than a straightforward narrative style would have allowed. This technical virtuosity is especially evident in As I Lay Dying, published in 1930
