As I Lay Dying,
based on one of William Faulkner's classic novels, focuses on the
Bundren family as they haul the body of their dead matriarch to her
hometown for burial. As you might expect, there's plenty of psychology
to examine here, and Dr. Karl Kirkland, who is something of an expert in
that field, is stepping up to the plate to help explain what effects
can result from dragging around a corpse of a family member. If you read
the novel in high school and told the teacher the family was messed up,
only to be told that this is a work of art and you should appreciate
that, we've got good news. Not that your teacher was completely wrong - As I Lay Dying is still a piece of art, but Dr. Kirkland can tell you how the family really is
messed up. Ah, validation. And just think how much fun you can have at
the next family reunion with the knowledge he'll provide!
