This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works. In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

Baldwin's personal reflections on movies gathered here in a book-length essay are also a probing appraisal of American racial politics. Offering an incisive look at racism in American movies and a vision of America's self-delusions and deceptions, Baldwin challenges the underlying assumptions in such films as In the Heat of the Night, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and The Exorcist.

Ralph Elllison's Invisible Man is a monumental novel, one that can well be called an epic of modern American Negro life. It is a strange story, in which many extraordinary things happen, some of them shocking and brutal, some of them pitiful and touching—yet always with elements of comedy and irony and burlesque that appear in unexpected places. It is a book that has a great deal to say and which is destined to have a great deal said about it.

Historia
Morrison shows how much the themes of freedom and individualism, manhood and innocence, depended on the existence of a black population that was manifestly unfree--and that came to serve white authors as embodiments of their own fears and desires. According to the Chicago Tribune, Morrison "reimagines and remaps the possibility of America." Her brilliant discussions of the "Africanist" presence in the fiction of Poe, Melville, Cather, and Hemingway leads to a dramatic reappraisal of the essential characteristics of our literary tradition.

In Paradise - her first novel since she was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature - Toni Morrison gives us a bravura performance. As the book begins deep in Oklahoma early one morning in 1976, nine men from Ruby (pop. 360), in defense of "the one all-black town worth the pain", assault the nearby Convent and the women in it. From the town's ancestral origins in 1890 to the fateful day of the assault, Paradise tells the story of a people ever mindful of the relationship between their spectacular history and a void.

When John Rechy's explosive first novel appeared in 1963, it marked a radical departure in fiction, and gave voice to a subculture that had never before been revealed with such acuity. It earned comparisons to Genet and Kerouac, even as Rechy was personally attacked by scandalized reviewers. Nevertheless, the book became an international best seller, and 50 years later, it has become a classic. Bold and inventive in style, Rechy is unflinching in his portrayal of one hustling "youngman" and his search for self-knowledge.

Historia
Decades after its original publication, James Agee’s last novel seems, more than ever, an American classic. For in his lyrical, sorrowful account of a man’s death and its impact on his family, Agee painstakingly created a small world of domestic happiness and then showed how quickly and casually it could be destroyed.

This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works. In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

In his first work for the theater, James Baldwin brought all the fervor and majestic rhetoric of the storefront churches of his childhood along with an unwavering awareness of the price those churches exacted from their worshipers. For years Sister Margaret Alexander has moved her Harlem congregation with a mixture of personal charisma and ferocious piety. But when Margaret's estranged husband, a scapegrace jazz musician, comes home to die, she is in danger of losing both her standing in the church and the son she has tried to keep on the godly path.

Begin Again is one of the great books on James Baldwin and a powerful reckoning with America’s ongoing failure to confront the lies it tells itself about race. Just as in Baldwin’s “after times,” argues Eddie S. Glaude Jr., when white Americans met the civil rights movement’s call for truth and justice with blind rage and the murders of movement leaders, so in our moment were the Obama presidency and the birth of Black Lives Matter answered with the ascendance of Trump and the violent resurgence of white nationalism.

Challenging Book
This book was such a challenge for me. I appreciated the issues that came up that were steeped in racism, sexuality, and identity. It was complicated and messy in the way that those 3 things always are. The thing that was hard for me was that the women characters were not real people. They were not three dimensional or complicated. They were mostly just a tool used to say something about the male characters. Most of the time, I wrestled with whether the characters were just hateful and thoughtless with women or if it was both them and the author. In the end, I have to believe the author was too. Baldwin is an important and talented author, but he seemed to have no understanding of women whatsoever, white or black.

Brilliant character mosaic
Baldwin is a master of dialog. It is a discussion on power and love. It is well told through multiple characters with no one being the main character. I'm about to listen to it again so I can glean more meaning.

Powerful and sad
In this novel Baldwin presents a realistic portrait of artistic young people in New York in the early 1960s. The most compelling character, the tormented black musician Rufus, is alive for only the first portion of the book, yet he casts his shadow over everything. Baldwin shows how even well-meaning whites who try to create friendship or love across the racial barrier often have no idea of the emotional sorrow they are up against or the further sorrow they may inadvertently cause. This novel also explores the conflicts that can arise among a group of struggling artists when one of their number becomes successful. As well, the novel includes some frank but well-written sex scenes, including homosexual encounters. Some may find this novel overly dark and full of conflict. Certainly, it is not a light or cheerful book, but it is an important work.

A deeper look
This book was so much deeper than anything I’ve read recently. A profound look into not only relationships, but racial disparity and tensions included. It is sad, and tense and beautiful and honest. I enjoyed it a lot because of the openness and the expressed feelings of the characters...gay and straight, black and white. Be ready to have your eyes opened and to really listen.

Sex becomes political, Politics become eroticized
This is a novel about rage, lust, race, gender, sex, bodies, cosmopolitanism, anger, justice and injustice, and about that other country, Love. Although some of the politics here are a bit dated, and it does feel like this is just a combination of Baldwin’s other books, it’s all forgiven by its sheer potency in thought and emotion. Baldwin’s prose is as purple and wordy as ever (if not more) and there is some repetitiveness to his ideas, but they’re all so smart and well put its hard to fault him for this. The novel follows no real plot, it’s mostly about this small group of friends and acquaintances (Cass, Eric, Yves, Vivaldo, Ida, Richard, Ellis, Leona and, of course, Rufus, the center of the whole group), and all the love, anger, recentment, tension (erotic and political), between these people. It’s very much a NEW YORK novel, starting and ending in the shadow of this city (the first line is “He was facing Seventh Avenue, in Times Square” and the last line as well makes a direct reference to this city), and it dissects all the different types of relations between the genders, orientations and, of course, Black and white people. Is it pessimistic? A tad. But it’s also SO well written.
