Abstract "In Rufus, Paul Brown traces Agee's ancestry, discusses his childhood in Knoxville, the death of his father, and his roots in East Tennessee. Brown reflects on Agee's childhood events and their effects on his writing, film work, and legacy as an artist. Brown argues that Agee's formative years in Knoxville and East Tennessee were highly influential, even beyond the natural connection to A Death in the Family"-- Provided by publisher.
