Descriere magazin:
Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual
James Baldwin was one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the postwar era, and one of the greatest African-American writers of this century.
Early Novels and
Stories presents the novels and short stories that established
Baldwin\'s reputation as a writer who fused unblinking realism with rare verbal eloquence. This volume includes his first novel, Go
Tell It on the
Mountain (1953),
Giovanni\'s
Room (1956), and other early works. Here, in a Library of America volume edited by Nobel laureate Toni Morrison, is the fiction that established
James Baldwin\'s reputation as a writer who fused unblinking realism and rare verbal eloquence. His first novel, Go
Tell It on the
Mountain (1953), tells the story, rooted in Baldwin\'s own experience, of a preacher\'s son coming of age in 1930\'s Harlem. Ten years in the writing, its exploration of religious, sexual, and generational conflicts was described by Baldwin as an attempt to exorcise something, to find out what happened to my father, what happened to all of us.
Giovanni\'s
Room (1956) is a searching, and in its day controversial, treatment of the tragic self-delusions of a young American expatriate at war with his own homosexuality.
Another Country (1962), a wide-ranging exploration of America\'s racial and sexual boundaries, depicts the suicide of a gifted jazz musician and its ripple effect on those who knew him. Complex in structure and turbulent in mood, it is in many ways Baldwin\'s most ambitious novel.
Going to
Meet the Man (1965) collects Baldwin\'s short fiction, including the masterful Sonny\'s Blues, the unforgettable portrait of a jazz musician struggling with drug addiction in which Baldwin came closest to defining his goal as a writer: For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it must be heard. There isn\'t any other tale to tell, it\'s the only light we\'ve got in all this darkness.
