Description:
James Agee the man was fact not legend. But it is the legend that spreads across and infiltrates the terrain of his created fantasy -- the figures, settings, structures, issues, ties, and obsessions. In James Agee and the Legend of Himself, Alan Spiegel explores the interior life of this self-interrogating artist through the different but continuous versions of the Agee persona as they appear in his books. In doing so, he also counters the prevalent misconceptions about Agee's work and its confusion with details of his actual life. Spiegel examines most of Agee's writing, giving extended attention to The Morning Watch, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Agee on Film, and the Pulitzer Prize winner, A Death in the Family.
