[African American] Baldwin, James. Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone. London: Michael Joseph Ltd, 1967. First edition. 407 pages. Original cloth binding in publisher's dust jacket. 8" x5 1/2". Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone is the fourth novel from the acclaimed writer, activist, poet, and playwright James Baldwin. Written following the release of his seminal novel Another Country, Baldwin's follow-up novel follows Harlem-born African-American stage-actor Leo Proudhammer and his life in Greenwich Village following a devastating heart attack he suffered on stage. In thematic consistency with Baldwin's work, the novel deals intimately with themes of homosexuality and bisexuality, religion and the African-American community, mass incarceration, and anti-black racism. Small stain on edge of dust jacket spine . Overall both book and DJ in very good condition. The book explores the struggles of an African-American performer as written by one of the most emblematic writers of the Civil Rights Era.…
