The James Agee Centennial Celebration, a monthlong series of events marking the 100th birthday of the Knoxville native and Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist, screenwriter, journalist, author and poet, continues Sunday with a reading of selected Agee works in James Agee Park.
"An Afternoon in Agee Park" is 2 p.m. Sunday in the park at the corner of James Agee Street and Laurel Avenue. It's free and open to the public.
Knoxville architect and historic preservationist C. Randall DeFord will present a history of the park. For the schedule of Agee Centennial events, visit http://web.utk.edu/~english/news/agee100.html.
Agee wrote for Time, Life, Fortune and The Nation. He also wrote the screenplays for the films "The African Queen" and "The Night of the Hunter," and won a posthumous Pulitzer Prize for his book "A Death in the Family."
