Already really enjoying this.
So dense in themes of race, gender, class, religion, familial & sexual & romantic relationships etc. but it all feels to gracefully interwoven through Baldwin’s use of the child narrator (which obviously I geek out about, that being the thesis of my ADV H English dissertation lol).
Got so many ideas for a comparative essay of this & To Kill a Mockingbird!!!

Delightful and charming and funny and quite odd in a lovely way. Very much enjoying as a bedtime book, the perfect kind to read a few chapters of each night before dozing off into silly little novel-inspired dreams. Can already tell im going to be upset when it’s done, trying to savour while I can.
