Agee's reportage on Alabama tenant farmers in 1936 is defiantly contrary, meandering, poetic, autobiographical, incendiary, angry, beautiful, sensitive, visionary, ugly, sometimes even funny.
Walker Evans' accompanying photographs give sad testimony to a text so detailed and comprehensive, the reader could - after reading this book - make his way through a tenant farmer's house blindfolded.
