The required high school reading book that's all wrong. James Agee died two years before his novel, "A Death in the Family," was published in 1957. He never lived to see the book win the Pulitzer Prize in 1958. He never even approved its final form. Now Agee scholar Michael Lofaro says that "A Death in the Family" was pulled together by a misguided editor whose final version does not match Agee's intentions.
