Talking at the gates : a life of James Baldwin : with a new afterword
James Baldwin was one of America's finest and most influential writers. By the time he died in 1987, his books, such as "The Fire Next Time", "Go Tell It on the Mountain", and "Giovanni's Room", had become modern classics. This book presents an account of the life and work of a writer who believed that "the unexamined life is not worth living."
