Review: "In the summer of 1936, James Agee and Walker Evans set out on assignment for Fortune magazine to explore the daily lives of sharecroppers in the South. There they lived with three different families for a month; the result of their stay was a collaboration, a record of place, of the people who shaped the land, and of the rhythm of their lives." "With a sixty-four-page photographic prologue of Evans's images, reproduced from archival negatives, the new edition introduces the legendary author and photographer to a new generation."--BOOK JACKET.
