MEMOIR
TWELVE
YEARS: An American Boyhood In East Germany
The University Of Chicago Press, 2000. Paperback, 334 pages.
"This
is one of those rare personal memoirs that bring
to life a whole country and an epoch. I'm
sure that James Agee would have been proud of his
son's beautifully written book."
—Christopher
Isherwood
"A wonderfully evocative memoir . . . Agee
evoked for me the atmosphere of postwar Berlin more
vividly than the actual experience of it—and
I was there."
—Christopher
Lehmann-Haupt, New York Times
"By turns poetic and picturesque, Agee energetically
catalogues his expatriate passage to manhood with
a pinpoint eye and a healthy American distaste for
pretension . . . Huckleberry Finn would have welcomed
[him] as a soul mate on the raft."
—J.
D. Reed, Time
"A triumph . . . Unfettered by petty analysis
or quick explanations, a story that is timeless
and ageless and vital."
—Robert
Michael Green, Baltimore Sun
