A review by yvespiders
The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin

5.0

Read it two times, pretty much back to back. If you're looking to get into James Baldwin's works, this is the best place to start. It is short, timeless, and it showcases Baldwin's brilliant mind. The first essay (the letter to his nephew) would be a great companion piece to Between the World and Me by Ta-Nehisi Coates.
