Synopsis:
'These essays ... live and grow in the mind' James Campbell, Independent
Being a writer, says James Baldwin in this searing collection of essays, requires 'every ounce of stamina he can summon to attempt to look on himself and the world as they are'. His seminal 1961 follow-up to Notes on a Native Son shows him responding to his times and exploring his role as an artist with biting precision and emotional power: from polemical pieces on racial segregation and a journey to 'the Old Country' of the Southern states, to reflections on figures such as Ingmar Bergman and André Gide, and on the first great conference of African writers and artists in Paris.
'Brilliant...accomplished...strong...vivid...honest...masterly' The New York Times
'A bright and alive book, full of grief, love and anger' Chicago Tribune
About the Author: Born in Harlem in 1924, James Baldwin was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, social critic and the author of more than twenty books. 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. Baldwin spent many years in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States. He died in 1987.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A searing collection of social and cultural criticism from a writer at the height of his creative powersWritten in the late 1950s and early 1960s, 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 Bakdwin's 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 Andre Gide, Norman Mailer and Richard Wright - and on the first great conference of African American writers and artists in Paris.In his introduction Baldwin describes the writer as requiring 'every ounce of stamina he can summon to attempt to look on himself and the world as they are'; his uncanny ability to do just that is proclaimed on every page of this famous book. Contains essays that describe what it means to be black in America. This book describes the tragedies that are inflicted by racial segregation and presents a poignant account of the author's first journey to 'the Old Country', the Southern states.
