Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin
1. juli 2020
Another perfect and heavily underlined Baldwin. Not only is he forever and always relevant to everyone, his writing is also incredible. Often I find that essay writers are so concerned with their presetation and so cought up with their ideas, that they completely distance themselves from the text, which makes it cold and fabricated. But Baldwin feels very present in his writing. The rage and panic is boiling under the surface. He doesn't write to comfort his readers. Yet it is crystal clear and eloquent. He is trying to find the truth, however it makes you feel.
