James Agee

Modern Library, 2000

James Agee, an inspiring critic

Forest Health and Protection

Robert L. Edmonds, James K. Agee

Waveland Pr Inc, 2005

A nice primer
This is a softcover reissue of a hardcover text put out previously by McGraw Hill. The content is unchanged, but students will be happy that it's about half the price of the original. It appears tightly bound, durable. The paper is thicker and coarser and so the photos ...

An Overlooked-Writer
Let me be clear... I've not read the present volume though I've read the individual books collected in it years ago. "A Death in the Family" remains vivid in my memory, depite almost 30 years since I last read it, and "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men" is an absolute ...

Better known for writing in a variety of other genres, James Agee always thought of himself as essentially a poet.

Seminal (and readable) text in fire ecology

University of Washington Press, 1989

A Death in the Family

James Agee

Obolensky, 1985

Best book ever
This is one of the most touching books I've ever read. Agee has the greatest knack of talking in the language of the character under examination. His attention to minute detail brings the picture of what the characters see and do and feel in a way that I find rather ...

Brooklyn Is: Southeast of the Island: Travel Notes
James Agee

Fordham University Press, 2005

For the first time in book form?a great writer?s classic celebration of the essence of Brooklyn.

Resonant with the rhythms of Hart Crane, Walt Whitman, and Thomas Wolfe, it takes its place alongside Alfred ...
