Faulkner's As I lay dying

AI Rating: 1/10 - André Bleikasten's 1973 critical study of William Faulkner's 1930 novel *As I Lay Dying* is a formalist literary analysis focusing on narrative structure, stream-of-consciousness techniques, multiple perspectives, and themes of death, family decay, and existential absurdity in a rural Southern context. It lacks progressive political messaging, social justice advocacy, identity politics, or diversity/inclusion priorities, emphasizing textual interpretation over modern ideological lenses. No "woke" elements detected.
