”As I Lay Dying”. The University of Michigan.

Läst 25 juli 2011. ”Faulkner said in his "Introduction" to the 1932 Modern Library publication of Sanctuary that ". . . I wrote As I Lay Dying in six weeks, without changing a word." Later he said he could do this because he knew from the first how the catastrophes of flood and fire would affect the Bundren family. He had written some of the tale in the short stories of "Father Abraham" and "Elmer," and his themes of evil and the folly of men were similar to those he had probed before. The holograph manuscript also reveals an ease in creation unlike his other novels: fewer canceled passages, marginal inserts, and paste-ins. The title page is dated October 25, 1929, and by January 12, 1930, the typescript was ready to mail to publisher Harrison Smith.”
