The Library of America
23 July 2024

Historical fiction

For the first time in a collector's boxed set, the definitive three-volume Library of America James Baldwin edition gathering all his essential writings, including the collected essays and complete fiction.

With the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), a distillation of his own experiences as a preacher's son in 1930s Harlem, and the essay collection Notes of a Native Son (1955), James Baldwin established himself as a prophetic voice of his era. Some such voices may grow fainter with the passage of time, but Baldwin remains an inescapable presence, not only a chronicler of his epoch but a thinker who helped shape it. One of the great modern prose stylists, he applied his passion, wit, and relentlessly probing intelligence to the fault lines and false fronts of American society while remaining true to his early credo- ""One writes out of one thing only-one's own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give.""

THE JAMES BALDWIN COLLECTION includes-

Collected Essays (LOA #98) Notes of a Native Son Nobody Knows My Name The Fire Next Time No Name in the Street The Devil Finds Work other essays

Early Novels & Stories (LOA #97) Go Tell It on the Mountain Giovanni's Room Another Country Going to Meet the Man (including ""Sonny's Blues"")

Later Novels (LOA #272) Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone If Beale Street Could Talk Just Above My Head

Edited by Toni Morrison (#97 & 98) and Darrly Pinckney (#272), each volume contains a textual essay, a chronology of Baldwin's life and career, and detailed notes.
