Product description
From the Publisher
No other novel of our time strikes so close to the heart of the dilemma of the black artist in America that this contrversial, gripping portrait of a successful actor explosively confronting his angers, his shames, his past, and his passions. From its moving description of a boy growing up in Harlem to its frankly erotic scenes of love that shattered society's conventions, this is a narrative that cries out for social change and hits with hammer blows of truth at the conscience of a nation.

Another of James Baldwin's works that I loved. Great writing and an exercise in empathy that never ceases to humble me.

Masterful and Quiet.
Reviewed in the United States on 1 September 2019Verified Purchase
James Baldwin is one of two favorite writers of all time along with Hemingway. And reading him thirty odd years later always baffles me to the striking resemblance of the past to the present and how our evils and sins inherited from our forefathers follows us everyday into the present and the future, and remains inescapable despite our best efforts.
This work remains a rich study of our past and a mirror to look into when we forget where we are from and how much further we are to go as a species, and race. And race is very important despite what some would make us believe, and the importance has very little to do with our conceptions and dogmas, the importance lies in its unimportant aspect which only logical minds will ever reach. Good read!

Missing Pages...
Reviewed in the United States on 15 January 2020Verified Purchase
The copy I ordered was missing thirty pages or so, and in their place were thirty pages from a random mystery novel! Intriguing, nonetheless... Swept me from edge-of-insanity to the edge of my seat.
However, I returned it (after a tantalizing 30 pages of straight suspense) only to get a new copy with a DIFFERENT thirty pages substituted for a DIFFERENT thirty pages of that SAME mystery novel! Returned again. Going to get it from the library.
Just order from a different provider...

He's a great American author
Reviewed in the United States on 15 November 2016Verified Purchase
This is the first James Baldwin work I've ever read and I wasn't prepared for the emotional depth, precision, beauty and moral stance of the writing. I call it incendiary b/c it set my heart and mind on fire. He's a great American author.
