The Fire Next Time
by Baldwin, James

Go Tell It on the Mountain
by Baldwin, James       
(Paperback - English - 9780375701870)
In one of the greatest American classics, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity.

Going to Meet the Man: Stories
by Baldwin, James       
(Paperback - English - 9780679761792)
There's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it. The men and women in these eight short fictions grasp this truth on an elemental level, and their stories detail the ingenious and often desperate ways in which they try to keep their head above water. It may be the heroin that a down-and-out jazz pianist uses to face the terror of pouring his life into an inanimate instrument. It may be the brittle piety of a father who can never forgive his son for his illegitimacy. Or it may be the screen of bigotry that a redneck deputy has raised to blunt the awful childhood memory of the day his parents took him to watch a black man ..

I Am Not Your Negro: A Companion Edition to the Documentary Film Directed by Raoul Peck
by Baldwin, James    Peck, Raoul   
(Paperback - English - 9780525434696)

James Baldwin: Early Novels & Stories (Loa #97): Go Tell It on the Mountain / Giovanni's Room / Another Country / Going to Meet the Man
by Baldwin, James    Morrison, Toni   
(Hardcover - English - 9781883011512)
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 ..
