A Death in the Family

"To speak of faults in a book by James Agee is to point up the absurdity of literary comparisons. Agee's book cannot be judged as another novel-of-the-week; it is an utterly individual and original book, and it is the work of a writer whose power with English words can make you gasp...The sense of the father in this book of both the place he filled in life and the emptiness created by his death, is one of the most deeply worked out expressions of human feeling that I have ever read.James Agee is the author of 'A Death in the Family' with ISBN 9781585470068 and ISBN 1585470066.
