Faulkner's Classic Novel:
As I Lay Dying |
|
|
"I set out deliberately to write
a tour-de-force. Before I ever put pen to paper and set down the first
words, I knew what the last word would be. Before I began I said, I am
going to write a book by which, at a pinch, I can stand or fall if I
never touch ink again."

Lay Dying. New York: Jonathan Cape, (1930). Octavo, original cream cloth, original

Book near-fine, with some darkening to spine, exceptionally bright dust jacket with only light darkening and edgewear to spine only. Three minute repaired closed tears to spine edges. Front and rear panels spotless. An outstanding copy of a fragile book. |
