Review
"Frank and affectionate."--"Times Literary Supplement, 3/22
From the Back Cover
"Campbell's biography is scrupulously researched and also uncovers new material about Baldwin's life and offers a well-argued case for a re-reading of Baldwin's oeuvre. Campbell knew Baldwin well, but his affection for the man has not dulled his critical pen. When I first met Baldwin he referred me to Campbell as the man to talk to if I wished to know more about his life and work."--Caryl Phillips, author of "The Atlantic Sound
