Review"[James Agee's words] are so indelibly etched someplace inside of me that I couldn't reach to rub them out even if I wanted to. And I never want to." -Steve Earle, from the Introduction
«The work of a writer whose power with English words can make you gasp.» -Alfred Kazin, “The New York Times Book Review”
" It is, in the full sense, poetry. … The language of the book, at once luminous and discreet . . . remains in the mind.”-"The New Republic”
" Wonderfully alive.” -"The New Yorker”
From the PublisherJames Agee's Pulitzer Prize-winning A Death In The Family is the powerful, moving story of a universal human situation. It tells of a loving and closely-knit family--and of their great courage when tragedy changes senselessly and suddenly the lives of those who are left behind.
«Maturely and masterfully, Agee accomplished a book which touches one deeply and which no reader will forget.” — New York Herald Tribune Book Review

    "Papa," Mary said, and got up and kissed him. He turned with her towards her mother. "Mama?" she said in a pinched, almost crying voice, and they embraced. "There, there, there," her mother said in a somewhat cracked voice, clapping her loudly on the back. "Mary, dear. There, there, there!"
