This is my first book I’ve read by James Baldwin and I am obsessed. Though I’ve heard this is one of his “less well written” books or less popular books, you can already tell how powerful his story telling is. There’s something about writers during that time period and the strength of their words that I absolutely love. Highly recommend.
