Extractions: "A wonderfully thoughtful and sensitive reading of a difficult and demanding American writer. Spiegel is a balanced observer of writing that can all too easily seduce or provoke readers to idolatrous awe or angry disapproval. . . . An important contribution to an understanding of a much celebrated writer." Robert Coles James Agee's literary reputation has grown enormously since his death in 1955. He wrote novels, short stories, poetry, film criticism, screenplays, and investigative journalism, but these accomplishments earned him only a modest public reputation during his brief life. Ironically, Agee's greatest recognition as a writer came posthumously, when his novel A Death in the Family won the Pulitzer Prize. At the time of Agee's death, all of his published works were either out of print or buried in anthologies. Within fifteen years nearly everything Agee had ever written was in demand and available in print. Agee became something of a magical presence over a body of attitudes and experiences that may or may not have had anything to do with the writer or his accomplishments.

http://www.indyweek.com/durham/2001-04-18/ae2.html

Extractions: In a 1971 interview, Walker Evans said that he thought of his work as "documentary style " photography. He argued that art could never be the equivalent of a document because art is not useful. This view seems consistent with Evans' stated desire to reject propaganda in favor of "pure record" during his stint as a photographer for the Resettlement Administration (RA) between 1935 and 1938. Despite Evans' reluctance to fully accept the "documentary" label, however, his best-known work, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men , is a collaboration between Evans and writer James Agee that chronicles the lives of Alabama tenant farmers. Growing out of an essay commissioned by Fortune magazine, the book met with critical disdain and popular indifference when it was first published in 1941. In 1960, several years after Agee's novel, A Death in the Family, was published posthumously and won the Pulitzer Prize, Houghton Mifflin reissued Let Us Now Praise Famous Men . It eventually became a "kind of Bible" for young people navigating "the troubled sixties," according to John Hersey's introduction to the 1988 edition.

http://www.ralphmag.org/AU/famous-men.html

Extractions: In his introduction to Let Us Now Praise Famous Men, Agee tells us that what he has done is not art, certainly not Art, don't call it art. He tells us it is something else again - perhaps a disease, perhaps a fury, and if we are to understand it, we are to put Beethoven's Seventh or Schubert's C-Major Symphony on the phonograph and "turn it up loud" and then "get down on the floor" and "jam your ear as close into the loudspeaker as you can get it and stay there, breathing as lightly as possible, and not moving, and neither eating nor smoking nor drinking." You won't hear it nicely. If it hurts you, be glad of it. As near as you will ever get, you are inside the music; not only inside it, you are it; your body is no longer your shape and substance, it is the shape and substance of the music. This, he wants us to know, is how we are to understand his work. Let us now praise famous men and our fathers that begat us. The quotation is from Sirach - also known as Ecclesiasticus - one of the Apocrypha of the Old Testament. The irony of the words is obvious and biting, for Agee is describing, minutely, the least famous, the poorest of the poor, the men (and women, and children) who lived in and around central Alabama in the middle of the depression, in the summer of 1936.

http://www.tqnyc.org/NYC00042/James Agee.html

Extractions: James Agee was a pet, a film critic, an essayist, a novelist, a screenwriter, and social commentator. James Agee was born on November 27, 1909 in Knoxville, Tennessee. His family members called him Rufus (hence the connection between himself and the character Rufus in the book.). He was born to father Hugh James Agee, who was from the backwoods hills country north of Knoxville and to mother Laura Agee, who was from a educated and well-mannered family. Laura Agee was a college graduate and deeply devoted to her faith. Hugh Agee was had different concerns and interests from those of his wife; His concerns were more sophisticated. Coming from two such distinct parents, Agee realized from a very young age that his life would have been different had his father been around. James Agee attended Phillips Exeter Academy and Harvard where he wrote for The Advocate. It was destined for Agee to become a great American writer because of his environment, background and connections. Agee worked for Fortune magazine during the Depression, which restricted his artistic abilities and his desire or a bohemian lifestyle. One his assignments at Fortune was Let Us Now Praise Famous Men.

Extractions: on this story Finally, a memorial to a native genius by Jack Neely At about midnight last Friday, as he was playing a preservation benefit at the Laurel Theatre, songwriter/poet R.B. Morris stopped long enough to make an announcement to the standing-room-only audience. The park to honor Knoxville-born author James Agee, a project he's been discussing with friends for nearly two years, is going to happen. It will be just down the block from the theater, on the northwest corner of Laurel Avenue. and James Agee (formerly 15th) Street. It's not a big place, a third of an acre or a little more, just a good-sized city lot used to park a couple dozen cars. Morris, who has traveled widely in Fort Sanders, has wished for some sort of Agee monument for years. In the late '90s, when developers were demolishing entire blocks of his old neighborhood, Morris walked up the old residential steps to this parking lot, and started imagining. "It came out of that sense of loss that everyone was feeling," he says. From this hillside you can see downtown, UT, and some of the best that remains of Fort Sanders. It's a view that parked cars don't much need. "All of a sudden it just started growing there in my mind," he says.
