Reviews
"One of the best books Baldwin has ever writtenperhaps the best of all." The Philadelphia Inquirer "A moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless." Joyce Carol Oates "If Van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our twentiethth-century one." Michael Ondaatje "Striking and particularly haunting. . . . A beauty, especially in its rendering of youthful passion." Cosmopolitan "A major work of black American fiction...

- e***n (392)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
