Best Answer

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."

University of Tennessee English professor, Michael Lofaro, reconstructed and rewrote the novel from Agee's original manuscript and notes and published a second version of A Death in the Family in 2007. The second book differs significantly from the Pulitzer winner.
