James Baldwin's electrifying first novel.

'I had to deal with what hurt me most. I had to deal with my father.'

Drawing on James Baldwin's own boyhood in a religious community in 1930s Harlem, his first novel tells the story of young Johnny Grimes. Johnny is destined to become a preacher like his father, Gabriel, at the Temple of the Fire Baptized, where the church swells with song and it is as if 'the Holy Ghost were riding on the air'. But he feels only scalding hatred for Gabriel, whose fear and fanaticism lead him to abuse his family. Johnny vows that, for him, things will be different. This blazing tale is full of passion and guilt, of secret sinners and prayers singing on the wind.

'His prose hit me, almost winding me with its intensity. I'd never read a novel that described loneliness and desire with such burning eloquence' Douglas Field, Guardian

'A beautiful, enduring, spirtual song of a novel' Andrew O'Hagan

His prose hit me, almost winding me with its intensity. I'd never read a novel that described loneliness and desire with such burning eloquence -- Douglas Field, Guardian

Vivid imagery, with lavish attention to details, The New York Times

A beautiful, enduring, spiritual song of a novel -- Andrew O'Hagan

One of the few essential novelists of our time, New Statesman

His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collection The Fire Next Time was a bestseller that made him an influential figure in the civil rights movement.

The paperback was damaged. Although I love the book the condition of the paperback just dampened the pleasure of reading.

This is the first work I read of Baldwin. Amazed at the power of his style. Some of his descriptions are so vivid, a video can't be any better.

Masterful Storytelling and Much More

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 21 June 2017

Verified Purchase

Masterful storyteller. I loved this book and what Baldwin teaches me from a writer's perspective. It is my first time reading Baldwin and he did not disappoint me; not one bit. He writing is raw, enlightening and compelling. If you gain from this book consider reading his short story 'Going to Meet the Man'; it is the most compelling piece of fiction I have read aside from Flannery O'Connor's short story 'A Good Man is Hard to Find.' Both are chilling but Baldwin's is more so. Be prepared for something like you have never read before.

GO TELL IT ON THE MOUNTAIN by JAMES BALDWIN

Obviously James Baldwin is one of the greatest writers of all time so I don’t need to preach about his masterful use of language and pacing and characterisation (although I just have 🤣) but I do want to tell you that even if you are an atheist - as I am - you can still take something from this novel. Yes, there were some dense passages on nothing more than the bible and God, and yes, these were a little tedious at times, but the bigger picture here is this family; John’s family, and how they came to be who and where they are now.

I loved how Baldwin took us effortlessly from past to present in order to explore how these characters became what they are in the present day.

I felt unsure and disconcerted while reading this because I was thinking about myself and my own life instead of just reading the words Baldwin had given me. I was constantly thinking about this poor young boy who is gay but will never get acceptance for that. And his religious awakening I saw more as a cry for help. One that will never be answered because the era in which he lives is not equipped to give him what he needs. Very sad. But then I feel this way after finishing any Baldwin novel.

religion and all its hypocrisy

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 June 2014

Verified Purchase

book about the struggle of a young black teen boy against his fanatic religious father. What first seems to be as a fight of a boy against the will of its parents result in a flash back of all characters, pretending to serve the Lord but they all have sinned more in life than young John probably will ever do.
Although 60 years old, it reveals that not much has changed and that most fanatic religious people most of the time or the most hypocrite sinners
beautiful story, but expected more of the end

Civil Rights and the Evangelical Church

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 July 2018

Verified Purchase

James Baldwin writes of anger and frustration amongst the black community at the height of the Civil Rights movement. His experience as a young black suffering prejudice sits uncomfortably with the non-conformist, evangelical Christian upbringing. Not the equal of Another Country
