One of the most important pieces of literature ever written. It is comprehensive, straightforward, and thought-provoking. Baldwin is a master of his craft.
This is the first Baldwin essay I ever read, and I was breath-taken. He remains one of my favorite authors of all time.
The fact that this essay is written as a letter to his nephew adds yet another layer of humanity and emotionality.
It is horrifying to realize the depth of this essay’s relevance 60 years after it’s publication. It is inconceivable.
