Agee, James.. The Morning Watch.. Houghton Mifflin, 1951.

Price: US$125.00 + shipping

Condition: Near Fine

Description: A Near Fine copy in a Very Good plus unclipped dust jacket with light wear to the extremities.The Morning Watch by James Agee, like his A Death in the Family, which won him the Pulitzer Prize, is autobiographical. It describes the experiences of twelve-year-old Richard during the early hours of Good Friday and the early stages of spring, in a church school in the Tennessee mountains. In this story of change and visitations, Agee has come close to a small triumph: he has pierced the protective shell of a boy s personality and exposed his religious exaltation without once falling into bathos. During his watch in the chapel, Richard s deepest thoughts and feelings are disturbed by weak flesh and childish imaginings. In tone, image, movement, and occasional obscure symbolism, this short novel has something of the quality of a dark poem, plumbing the inextricability of good, evil, beauty, preposterousness, the simple, and the unfathomable, in more or less ordinary sensations and motives.
