Frank McCourt's haunting memoir takes on new life when the author reads from his Pulitzer Prize-winning book.

Publisher: Vintage: 1985

Seller ID: 0145187

ISBN: 0375701230

Binding: Trade Paperback

Condition: Good

Forty years after its original publication, James Agee's last novel seems, more than ever, an American classic. For in his lyrical, sorrowful account of a man's death and its impact on his family, Agee painstakingly created a small world of domestic happiness and then showed how quickly and casually it could be destroyed.
On a sultry summer night in 1915, Jay Follet leaves his house in Knoxville, Tennessee, to tend to his father, whom he believes is dying. The summons turns out to be a false alarm, but on his way back to his family, Jay has a car accident and is killed instantly. Dancing b...
