The Creative Process of James Agee

by James Lowe

Argues that American poet, novelist, and screenwriter Agee (1909-55) only found peace at the moment when the perceived chaos of perception was precisely balanced with the crafted resolution of unity, and that the disparateness that critics dislike in his work is not only a positive force but is essential to its artistic success.
