An American writer, known for his delicate and moving prose was born on November 27, 1909, in Knoxville, Tennessee, United States. Agee was educated at Harvard University. His first book, the poetry collection Permit Me Voyage, was published in 1934. In 1936 Agee travelled to the Southern United States with American photographer Walker Evans to document the lives of sharecroppers for an article in Fortune magazine. The article never appeared, but Agee and Evans later collaborated on a book on the subject, Let Us Now Praise Famous Men (1941). In the 1940s Agee worked as a film critic for the magazines Time and The Nation. Beginning in 1948 he worked as a motion-picture scriptwriter. His best-known works are The African Queen (1951) and The Night of the Hunter (1955). In 1951 his novelette The Morning Watch, about the religious struggles of a young boy, was published. A Death in the Family (1957; Pulitzer Prize, 1958) is generally regarded as Agee's masterpiece. The novel recounts the effects of a man's death on his family. The book was dramatized under the title All the Way Home as a play (1960; Pulitzer Prize, 1961) and a motion picture (1963).
He died on May 16, 1955, in New York City, New York, United States.
