Summary

James Baldwin grew up in a poverty-stricken home, but through the skill of his prose and his keen observation, he was able to rise above it all. Baldwin was a once-in-a-lifetime kind of artist who had an uncanny understanding of people, situations, and the status quo.

As a writer, Baldwin was highly critical of many aspects of society, and he used his pen to question why things were the way they were. This audiobook follows James Baldwin’s journey from Harlem to France, as he sorts out both his personal inclinations and the world as a whole. Discover the life, thoughts, feelings, and inspirations of James Baldwin in full.
