When I”m Dying is one of Faulkner”s representative works and an important work in his " Yoknapatawpha genealogy" series. The novel tells the story of the "tragic journey" of Benderun, a farmer in the South of the United States, who led his family to transport his wife”s body back to his hometown for burial in order to keep his promise to his wife. Although everyone embarks on the funeral road with their own purpose, and there are many selfish, ignorant, and absurd behaviors along the way, this funeral still has the brilliance of idealism. In the fight against floods and fires, it shows people. The power of humanity has also reassessed people”s ability to withstand suffering.The whole story is composed of 59 inner monologues by the Benderen family, neighbors and related personnel. The multi-perspective narrative and stream of consciousness make it a classic of modernist novels. It had a huge influence on later generations of writers, and was hailed as "the outstanding opening of American novels in the 20th century."
