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 and 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.
Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual, James Baldwin was one of the most brilliant and provocative literary figures of the postwar era, and one of the greatest African American writers of this century. A self-described “transatlantic commuter” who spent much of his life in France, Baldwin joined cosmopolitan sophistication with a fierce engagement in social issues. “One writes,” he stated, “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.” With singular eloquence and unblinking sharpness of observation he lived up to his credo: “I want to be an honest man and a good writer.”
The three-volume boxed set of the Library of America’s edition of his writings include all six of his novels, the story collection Going to Meet the Man, and a comprehensive, career-spanning selection of his brilliant essays, including the complete texts of his early landmark collections, Notes of a Native Son and Nobody Knows My Name, along with the passionate—and still resonant—The Fire Next Time.
