From the Publisher
"This long-anticipated volume collects more of Agee's remaining unpublished work. Kramer, author of several other books on Agee, has previously published some of these selections in academic journals. Fans of Agee's work will enjoy reading the writers' early prose experiments, sketches, and poems. Especially interesting is the complete 'work' chapter for 'Let Us Now Praise Famous Men' and sections Agee may have intended to include in his posthumously published Pulitzer Prize winning novel 'A Death in the Family.' Kramer provides perceptive introductory notes, and states that 'the documents of this collection are proof of the diversity of Agee's skill and of his accomplishments as a writer.'...this is a major addition to the Agee canon. Upper-division undergraduates and up."-CHOICE
