alexnorcross 's review for:
The Fire Next Time
by James Baldwin
I actually listened to this one on CD, but that does not discount the beauty of this book. This short book (I own an actual hard copy of it and its only 100 or so pages long) includes two autobiographical essays about civil rights, human dignity, and the black experience. James Baldwin is a genius and master storyteller. He can argue a point just as well as Martin Luther King Jr. and tell a tale as well as Ralph Ellison. Although written in during the civil rights era, the topics it covers are still pertinent today. A superb, accessible, thoughtful, and inspirational read.
