About This Item
Chicago: University of Chicago, 2000. 1st. paperback. Good, some occasional underlinings. 8vo (230 x 150 / 9"" x 6""). Joel Agee, the son of James Agee, was raised for twelve years in East Germany, where his stepfather, the novelist Bodo Uhse, was a member of the privileged communist intelligentsia. This is the story of how young Joel failed to become a good communist, becoming instead a fine writer.""A wonderfully evocative memoir. . . . Agee evoked for me the atmosphere of postwar Berlin more vividly than the actual experience of itÑand I was there."" ÑChristopher Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times""One of those rare personal memoirs that brings to life a whole country and an epoch."" ÑChristopher Isherwood
