The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
3.5
my favorite part of this essay is unquestionably the letter for his nephew. random excerpts: "to be born under conditions," "limits of your ambition," "to be loved, to strengthen you against this loveless world," "the very time I thought I was lost, my dungeon shook and my chains fell off," "the slow crumbling of my faith, the pulverization of my fortress—from the time when I began to read again," "if one cannot risk oneself, then one is simply incapable of giving."
content is strong but the long sentences structure kind of bothered me
