Worth a second read, especially after learning more historical and religious context. A short read, but packed full of so many amazingly crafted thoughts and passages that I highlighted half the book.

DISCLAIMER -  I read this text as a set text for university meaning I did not pick this up for myself. It does not fit my usual reading selection so my review may be rather biased. 

This was a very easy text to get through, I read it within one sitting. 

Baldwin’s writing is very easy to get along with, being informative, autobiographical and reflective. 

This text gave me a lot to think on and I will likely read it again and explore Baldwin’s writings further.
