The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

5.0

James Baldwin has always been an author I’ve heard so many great things about but that I never got around to reading. This book was a perfect introduction to Baldwin and his writing style, as well as the root of his writing. The opening letter to his nephew is both heartbreaking and strengthening, and his musings on religion and the freedom he experienced by choosing a path that he didn’t necessarily agree with made for an engaging read
