“If Van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, James Baldwin [is] our twentieth-century one.”

Michael Ondaatje, New York Times bestselling author, praise for the author

This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent sixties and early seventies displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works.

In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain-the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.
