Review:
"A passionate, probing, controversial book which is outstandingly well written."--The Atlantic
From the Back Cover:
'These essays ... live and grow in the mind' James Campbell, Independent
Baldwin's early essays have been described as 'an unequalled meditation on what it means to be black in America.' This rich and stimulating collection contains 'Fifth Avenue, Uptown: a Letter from Harlem', polemical pieces on the tragedies inflicted by racial segregation and a poignant account of his first journey to 'the Old Country', the Southern states. Yet equally compelling are his 'Notes for a Hypothetical Novel' and personal reflections on being American, on other major artists - Ingmar Bergman and André Gide, Norman Mailer and Richard Wright - and on the first great conference of African Writers and Artists in Paris.

Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. From one of the most brilliant writers and thinkers of the twentieth century comes a collection of "passionate, probing, controversial" essays (The Atlantic) on topics ranging from race relations in the United States to the role of the writer in society.Told with Baldwin's characteristically unflinching honesty, this splendid book (The New York Times) offers illuminating, deeply felt essays along with personal accounts of Richard Wright, Norman Mailer and other writers. James Baldwin is a skillful writer, a man of fine intelligence and a true companion in the desire to make life human. To take a cue from his title, we had better learn his name. The New York Times Essays discuss race relations, segregation, the role of the writer in society, and the work of Andre Gide, Richard Wright, and Norman Mailer.
