This Pulitzer Prize winning book has been hailed as a major novel of our time—

“The work of a writer whose power with English words can make you gasp.”

Alfred Kasin, The New York Times

“James Agee has reminded us of human weakness and human strength, and reminded us that human beings can be brave and kind and tender when fate deals its heavy blows. This story has nobility, a quality in human nature not often emphasized in contemporary writing.”

San Francisco Call Bulletin

“His descriptions of people, places and scenes, are not only accurate but deeply poetic and moving.”

Chicago Sun Times

“Such a novel as this belongs with things to be cherished always.”

The Cleveland Press
