A Death in the Family
Introduction by Steve Earle
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize
Published in 1957, two years after its
author’s death at the age of forty-five, A
Death in the Family remains a near-perfect
work of art, an autobiographical novel
that contains one of the most evocative
depictions of loss and grief ever written.
Featuring an introduction by country
music legend Steve Earle, this edition is
published for the centennial of James
Agee’s birth.
