It'll take me a long while to chip away at this book.
Thus far, I've read James Baldwin's essay, and, of course, it was brilliant.
It certainly helps inform the perspective and personal and societal conflicts that influence Baldwin's writings as he discusses the same social issues that he explores in his fiction work.
He uses the same prose style as Sonny's Blues and Giovanni's Room.
