The Devil Finds Work by James Baldwin
4.0

Eloquent and incisive essays concerning cultural and social criticism. Baldwin never missed.

“I loved my country, but I could not respect it, could not, upon my soul, be reconciled to my country as it was. And I loved my work, had great respect for the craft which I was compelled to study, and wanted it to have some human use. It was beginning to be clear to me that these two loves might, never, in my life, be reconciled: no man can serve two masters.”
