Part of the Complete Journalism: Articles, Book Reviews, and Manuscripts, The Works of James Agee, Volume 2 follows Agee’s journalistic endeavors from his time at Philip Exeter Academy and his
university years at Harvard during the 1920’s, to his posts both at Fortune Magazine and Time during the 1930’s and 40’s. To say that he produced a vast number of articles, reviews, and other
publications does not quite capture the width and breadth of Agee’s work. At 646 pages, this particular publication is volume 2 in a series and does not include Agee’s film reviews. As a
journalist, James Agee managed to write about everything. ＂Cockfighting＂, ＂Roman Society＂, ＂Cabinet Changes＂, ＂Drought＂, ＂Hercules Powder＂, ＂Syria＂, ＂Russia＂, ＂Food＂; these are just a small
cross-section of the articles included in this text. However, when reading through these articles, it is completely apparent that Agee devoted an intense amount of time and attention to each
subject he wrote about. The text also includes many unpublished drafts and Agee’s personal notes; these give a unique insight into the mind of the journalist. Also included are a number of book
reviews; the writing of which, as noted by the editor, was James Agee’s passion. The thoughtfulness and insightfulness Agee put into to these reviews is quite apparent whether or not the reader
agrees with him.,Part of the Complete Journalism: Articles, Book Reviews, and Manuscripts, The Works of James Agee, Volume 2 follows Agee’s journalistic endeavors from his time at Philip Exeter
