Let Us Now Praise Famous Men by James Agee

rating:
With the subject matter (tenant farming) very unique, it's definitely an interesting read. However, the writing style is extremely difficult and so descriptive at times that I lost track of the meaning completely. Agee also likes to wander off on literary tangents, which do make a strong point, but lack anything to do with the original subject of his book. After finishing this, I still really don't know if I understood what the book was trying to accomplish, aside from portraying tenant farming and families, which I'm not even sure I followed too easily.
