A review by kcrawfish
Another Country by James Baldwin

5.0

I think this book deserves five stars but that doesn’t mean it was 5 stars of enjoyment. The singular thing these characters searched for was refuge. The singular thing they thought of, was love. And that seems simple, but it crafts a real, stark world with truths about race, sexuality, and so many simple agonies we stumble through as we grow as adults. Bleak, beautiful, and honest. James Baldwin is a masterful writer, of that there can be no doubt.
