As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner
3.0

Faulkner spins an epic tale, full of despairing and hopeless voices. The fact this was written in 1930 is astounding for its narrative technique (although also be forewarned about some racist language). Despite its status as a pioneering work of art, I'm giving it three stars to reflect my overall experience of it, because ultimately it is a bleak, cynical tale, and just not what I needed in 2020.
