Blurb: "Since his sudden, tragic death in 1955, a legend has sprung up around the name of James Agee, now acknowledged to be one of the major American writers of the century. A Death in the Family, his best and most famous novel, was a Pulitzer Prize winner, a bestseller in America, and recently been filmed. Largely autobiographical, set in Agee's birthplace of Knoxville, Tennessee, it is the story of a close-knit family and the intense sorrow of a sudden bereavement."
