| Summary |
AGEE is the story of James Agee, one of the most talented writers of our time. A quintessentially American writer, driven by passions for work, friends, films, and ideas, Agee established a reputation as both a warm-hearted genius and as "a soverign prince of the English language." In his short, luminous career, James Agee worked as a poet, journalist, film critic, screenwriter, and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist whose works include "Let Us Now Praise Famous Men", "The African Queen", "A Death in the Family", and "Agee on Film". Agee's fascinating story is told here by those who knew him best, including John Huston, Walker Evans, Robert Fitzgerald, Dwight MacDonald, Father James Flye, and Agee's three wives. |
