Autobiographical novel

A Death in the Family is an autobiographical novel by author James Agee, set in Knoxville, Tennessee.
 He began writing it in 1948, but it was not quite complete when he died in 1955 (with reputedly many portions having been written in the home of his friend Frances Wickes).
 It was edited and released posthumously in 1957 by editor David McDowell.
 Agee's widow and children were left with little money after Agee's death and McDowell wanted to help them by publishing the work.
 Agee won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1958 for the novel.
 The novel was included on "Time"'s 2005 list of the 100 best English-language novels written since 1923.
The African Queen is a 1951 British-American adventure film adapted from the 1935 novel of the same name by C. S. Forester.
 The film was directed by John Huston and produced by Sam Spiegel and John Woolf.
 The screenplay was adapted by James Agee, John Huston, John Collier and Peter Viertel.
 It was photographed in Technicolor by Jack Cardiff and had a music score by Allan Gray.
 The film stars Humphrey Bogart (who won the Academy Award for Best Actor – his only Oscar), and Katharine Hepburn with Robert Morley, Peter Bull, Walter Gotell, Richard Marner and Theodore Bikel.

 He wrote the work between 1952 and 1954 for the NBC Television Opera Workshop, with the intention of its being presented on television.

An autobiographical novel is a form of novel using autofiction techniques, or the merging of autobiographical and fictive elements.
 The literary technique is distinguished from an autobiography or memoir by the stipulation of being fiction.
 Because an autobiographical novel is partially fiction, the author does not ask the reader to expect the text to fulfill the "autobiographical pact".
 Names and locations are often changed and events are recreated to make them more dramatic but the story still bears a close resemblance to that of the author's life.
 While the events of the author's life are recounted, there is no pretense of exact truth.
 Events may be exaggerated or altered for artistic or thematic purposes.
