James Agee's painstaking and honest masterpiece is an exercise in empathy. It is a beautiful, tortured writing that speaks to both the deplorable conditions of the Depression-era souther sharecropper and the humanity of trying to present them in a favorable light. Agee's writing style is at times erratic-- which helps to give the book its character. It is often self-doubting, as Agee calls ...             James Agee: Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, A Death in the Family, Shorter Fiction (Library of America)4 reviews James Agee Library of America, 2005 An Overlooked-Writer Let me be clear...

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 profound. The language is never coarse or overly broad. You never have to guess what a sentence is conveying, it is so literate yet ...             Operative Neurosurgical Anatomy Damirez Fossett, Anthony Caputy, ...
