Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee
3.0
*read for class
Specifically, we read James Agee's story on Emma (we also read Emma's response, but that isn't on Goodreads so we're lumping them together). I think its funny. that James Agee makes Emma out to be this simple girl, but I think that her article was much better than his (even though he was the writer out of the pair). He version is so much easier to read and does her story justice compared to his.
I also didn't know that James Agee was actually from Knoxville which is where I am from. So that was a cool fun fact. Makes me want to read A Death in the Family which is Agee's novel set in Knoxville.
