Since its original publication in 1955, this first nonfiction collection of essays by James Baldwin remains an American classic. His impassioned essays on life in Harlem, the protest novel, movies, and African Americans abroad are as powerful today as when they were first written.

4 stars

His is such precise and beautiful prose I’m excited to read more even as I’m sad I didn’t start reading him earlier. I’m curious about his fiction, but will probably stick to essays for a while yet.
