ISBN10: 1931082812, ISBN13: 9781931082815, [publisher: The Library of America] Hardcover A passionate literary innovator, eloquent in language & uncompromising in his social observation & his pursuit of emotional truth, James Agee (1909-1955) excelled as a novelist, critic, journalist, & screenwriter. In his brief, often turbulent life, he left enduring evidence of his unwavering intensity, observant eye, & sometimes savage wit. This volume collects his fiction along with his extraordinary experiment in what might be called prophetic journalism, 'Let Us Now Praise famous Men' (1941).
