Published in 1957, two years after its author's death at the age of
forty-five, A Death in the Family remains a near-perfect work of
art, an autobiographical novel that contains one of the most
evocative depictions of loss and grief ever written. As Jay Follet
hurries back to his home in Knoxville, Tennessee, he is killed in a
car accident - a tragedy that destroys not only a life, but also
the domestic happiness and contentment of a young family. A novel
of great courage, lyric force, and powerful emotion, A Death in the
Family is a masterpiece of American literature.
