Death in the family

About the content of the book We are here to tell you about the Knoxville summer evenings, in Tennessee, the time I lived there secretly, with utmost skill, in the costume of a child. Two years after the death of its author at the age of forty-five, "Death in the Family" won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1958, and even now, after more than sixty years, remains a literary masterpiece, a semi-autobiographical novel embodying the tragedy of losing a father like no other novel. Jay Follett rushes back to his home in Knoxville, Tennessee, and is killed in a car accident — a tragedy that not only ends a life but also destroys family happiness and warm love in the small family home. A novel that carries within it courage, poetic vigor, and overwhelming emotion; a novel that is an icon in American literature.
