Book Reviews of Vintage Baldwin
Book Review: Great Essays.
Summary: 5 Stars
These essays are fantastic, and the book is worth owning for the first couple alone, especially "My Dungeon Shook". I am giving this book to a friend to help him understand 'the black experience'.
Summary of Vintage Baldwin
Vintage Readers are a perfect introduction to some of the great modern writers presented in attractive, accessible paperback editions."One of the few genuinely indispensable writers." -The Saturday Review
In his internationally acclaimed novels, short stories, plays and essays, James Baldwin was and remains a powerfully prophetic voice in the American literary landscape, fearlessly brooding upon issues such as race, sex, politics, and art. His literary achievement is a lasting legacy about what it means to be American.
Vintage Baldwin includes the short story "Sonny's Blues"; the galvanizing civil rights examination "My Dungeon Shook: Letter to My Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Emancipation"; the essays "Fifth Avenue, Uptown: A Letter from Harlem," "The Discovery of What It Means to Be an American," and "Nobody Knows My Name: A Letter from the South"; and excerpts from the novel Another Country and the play The Amen Corner.
