Mehso-so

Not really what I was expecting - a portrait of three sharecropper families during the depression. It was more a practice in descriptive writing (there were entire chapters on what bedrooms looked like). It's a great display of Agee's writing, but I'd prefer his fiction.

Catching the Walker Evans photo exhibit on its last day here at the High in Atlanta. I first encountered his work (to be aware of who he was, anyway) in this heart-crushing and beautifully written book. Sadly, my copy is not a first edition, like this one.

Today's book haul. I've been looking for some of these for a long time. If you are ever in Knoxville or Chattanooga, be sure to stop in McKay's.
