James Agee

A death in the family

Found the writing to be quite beautiful— in particular, the small details  & description, and the astute observations of interpersonal friction and connection.

Much better than I thought it was going to be. Some Pulitzer prize reads have been disappointing.

Agee's portrayal of the sweetness of day-to-day familial relations are powerful and poignant. His masterfully drawn characters take on a haunting reality in this vivid recreation of life -- and sudden death.
