Review: The epitome of great American literature - If you know James Baldwin's work, then you already know his genius for telling great stories with fully developed characters with well woven plots and subplots.. If you are not familiar with Baldwin's work, give it a shot. His style is clear and concise. Thoroughly enjoyable.. and thought provoking..
Review: James Baldwin is simply a great writer - I've profited from everything I've read by James Baldwin. I can't say I 'enjoyed' his books or that I was entertained. I was challenged, informed, touched, hurt, shamed, etc. For an old white man who grew up in the south reading James Baldwin is an education. He is a great American voice and should be read by everyone.
