It's a bit hard to read at parts--huge paragraphs and run on sentences and I find myself agitated by certain tonal choices on The Good White People in his life although I understand why it would focus on that. It just makes me want to read James Baldwin: A Biography by David Leeming instead, but this was on the goodreads list, so here I am I suppose.

tbh I'd like to be done. sometimes I feel certain ppl lean into nonfiction/biographies when they admire or crave to do fiction work but don't know how to prune the information they share or balance tone and character, which this book struggles with all of them. considering I got my bachelor's in history, it's kind of exhausting bc well-written nonfiction is great.

Idk this is feeling like a two star at best. We are spending so much time babbling about the exceptionalism of white ppl in his life that are mediocre allies at best and I’m tired of it.
