Sent to Alabama in 1936 with photographer Walker Evans to write an article on tenant farming, Agee quickly became consumed with the subject, ultimately writing almost 500 pages to accompany Evans’ 31 disturbing and beautiful photographs. Agee’s sympathetic account and Evans’ remarkable photographs have made this one of the most famous and unforgettable depictions of rural poverty and one of the most admired works of our times. Roth, 108-09.
