Another Country

The book is great but the quality of the book is not that good.

I have bought this book over and over again as each time friends borrow but never returns. This is a classic which I've read many times. Wonderfully written which makes a great read.

Deals with so many identity issues. A very captivating read that gives you a lot to think about. Still relevant today

First read this when I was nearing the end of high school. Read it a second time in my fifties. And now, approaching the age of seventy, I just finished reading it again. As to be expected, it was different each time. It affected me most when I was seventeen and a half years old, a time when I could barely read, yet it is with this most recent reading that I truly appreciate this novel—James Baldwin, Another Country—a gem.

This was a fantastic read. I would have to say that this is quintessential Baldwin. However I wouldn't recommend starting here if you haven't read Baldwin before. Giovanni's Room or If Beale Street Could Talk would be better starting points. Another Country is a novel that revolves around artist friends in 1950s New York. You watch the characters collide like a train wreck while hurting each other in front of the backdrop of racist America. It's brilliant!
