Twelve Years

In 1948 Joel Agee, the son of James Agee, went with his family to East Germany, where his stepfather, the novelist Bodo Uhse, became a member of the privileged communist intelligentsia. Twelve years later, shortly before the Berlin Wall went up, he returned to the United States with his American mother, Alma, and his younger half brother. This is the story of how young Joel failed to become a good communist, becoming instead a fine writer.
