I just finished this. I don’t always love biographies but this is a quintessential portrait of a tortured artist. If you are interested in James Agee’s work this provides a compelling context for his brilliance.

I never met Stuart but the idea of re-evaluating a film, after a while, without necessarily going back to see it again, was one of the defining traits of one of our most thoughtful critics, #JamesAgee. So Stuart was in good company.

A Death in the Family – James Agee
As well as working my way through Anthony Trollope's novels, I am also working my way through another list of books. Many years ago, when we got our first Kindle, we bought it second hand and it came with thousands of books. These books have sat in a folder on my One Drive ever since. This year I finally got around to reading them.

“[…] How still we see thee lie!
Above thy deep and dreamless sleep,
The silent stars go by;
Yet in thy dark streets shineth
The everlasting light;
The hopes and fears of all the years
Are met in thee tonight.”
