Notes of a Native Son by James Baldwin

challenging reflective tense medium-paced

Baldwin hits the nail on the head so often for me. He says things I already believe/know, but illustrates it in a tangible way. A quote I stuck with was, “The root function of language is to control the universe by describing it.” He gets me. I’ve engaged with his work at the perfect time.
