520 1 $a"James Agee: Selected Journalism is a collection of his articles published from 1933 to 1947 by Time and Fortune, two of the era's most influential magazines. This edition of the book includes two new articles from Agee's school years and a new introduction by editor Paul Ashdown that places Agee's journalistic work in the context of his entire career." "The articles reproduced here chronicle life at home and abroad during the Depression and the war-torn 1940s. The range of topics is vast - from cockfighting in his native South, to the devastation of postwar France and the passing of the Roman aristocracy, to the corporatization of a small orchid nursery and the way in which a variety of Americans experienced the death of President Roosevelt. In his journalistic pieces Agee shows a remarkable prescience. For example, he was early to realize the tremendous significance of the atom bomb and the effect of the Tennessee Valley Authority on the mountain regions."--BOOK JACKET.
