📖 As I Lay Dying

As I Lay Dying is a story about the death of Addie Bundren, a wife and mother who leaves her husband and five children grieving as they try to grant Addie her last wish. Addie wished to be buried in Jefferson, Mississippi, besides the rest of her family, thus leaving her family to travel forty miles with her decomposing corpse in the Mississippi heat. I recommend this novel for its duality of navigating between the family's extensive insistence to fulfill their mother's dying wish and the dysfunctional reality of their relationships.

《我弥留之际》是一个关于阿迪· 邦德伦的死亡的故事,她是一位妻子和母亲,留下她的丈夫和五个孩子在尝试实现阿迪的最后愿望时悲痛欲绝。阿迪希望被埋葬在密西西比州的杰斐逊,与她的家人安息在一起,因此让她的家人带着她正在分解的尸体,在密西西比的炎热中旅行四十英里。我推荐这本小说,因为它在家庭极力实现母亲临终愿望与他们关系失调的现实之间的双重性导航。
