Summary:
The classic American novel, re-published for the 100th anniversary of
James Agee's birthPublished in 1957, two years after its author's
death at the age of forty-five, A Death in the Family remains a
near-perfect work of art, an autobiographical novel that contains one
of the most evocative depictions of loss and grief ever written. As
Jay Follet hurries back to his home in Knoxville, Tennessee, he is
killed in a car accident-a tragedy that destroys not only a life, but
also the domestic happiness and contentment of a young family. A
novel of great courage, lyric force, and powerful emotion, A Death in
the Family is a masterpiece of American literature.
