New Video: Joel Agee & In the House of My Fear PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 13 June 2006
Here is the first installment from our visit to Charlottesville, Virginia, in March 2006 for the Virginia Festival of the Book (VAbook.org)

In this 2-minute clip, author Joel Agee describes his attempts to delve into the mindset of his younger brother, who was plagued with debilitating mental illness.

The resulting book, In the House of My Fear, details Agee's own breakdown, and his eventual breakthrough, fixed against the background of the sex-and-drugs era of 1960s America.

In this clip, Agee's austere presence and somber recollection of the events that lead to this memoir give way to musings on the juxtaposition of art and life.
