As I Lay Dying is a 1930 Southern Gothic novel by American author William Faulkner, his fifth novel, consistently ranked among the best novels of the twentieth century. Its title derives from William Marris's 1925 translation of Homer's Odyssey, referring to themes shared by both works, and the novel uses a stream-of-consciousness writing technique with multiple narrators and varying chapter lengths.
