James Agee won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize in Fiction for A Death In The Family in 1958. Agee began writing the novel in 1948, but it remained unfinished when he died in 1955. Editor David McDowell worked on the manuscript, which was published posthumously in 1957. It has been listed as one of Time Magazine's "100 Best English-Language Novels."
