I don't know of any book of this size (barely 100 pages) that gives the reader so much. At least as important now (spring 2020) as it was when it was written more than a generation ago.

This was a bit of a rollercoaster for me, but by the end I was very touched and inspired by it. I appreciate that Baldwin doesn’t shy away from what he needs to say. He’s direct and exact in his words and yet manages to make them beautiful and elegant. The subject of race is a charged one, but one we all have to seek to understand if we want to create a better world for all. I’d say this book is a must read.
