Kom, roep het van de bergen
Het is een zaterdag in maart 1935 en John Grimes wordt veertien. Hij is een gevoelige, hyperintelligente jongen uit Harlem, stiefzoon van een hardvochtige prediker bij de pinkstergemeente. In deze sterk autobiografische roman doorspekt Baldwin zijn verhaal over de spirituele, seksuele en morele ontwikkeling van de jongen met de levensverhalen van diens moeder, vader en tante. Baldwins debuut verbluft door de lyrische precisie, psychologische scherpte, symbolische kracht en de niet-aflatende maar ook empathische woede. Die geldt vooral de dubieuze rol als instrument van onderdrukking die de kerk speelde in de levens van veel zwarte Amerikanen. Een twintigste-eeuwse klassieker.

Een zoon van Amerika
‘Niet alles wat we onder ogen zien kunnen we veranderen. Maar we kunnen niets veranderen zonder het eerst onder ogen te zien.’ – James BaldwinJames Baldwins non-fictiedebuut verscheen in 1955, toen hij dertig was en vestigde zijn naam als onontkoombaar denker. De tien cultuurkritische en autobiografische es says zijn geschreven in de jaren veertig en vijftig en tonen een land waarin de maatschappelijke verhoudingen voorzichtig beginnen te schuiven. In uiterst scherpzinnig proza van grote schoonheid onderzoekt Baldwin met woede en empathie wat het betekent om van kleur te zijn in Amerika en Europa.‘Mijlpalen in de essayistiek, van grote kracht en schoonheid.’ – The Guardian, 100 belangrijkste non-fictieboeken aller tijden (#26)‘Ik wou dat ik dit boek in de handen van iedere Amerikaan kon drukken – eigenlijk van ieder mens.’ – Celeste Ng

Just Above My Head
James Baldwin’s final novel is “the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers” (The New York Times Book Review). Arthur Montana, celebrated gospel singer, has been found collapsed in a London pub at the age of thirty-nine. His brother, Hall, is left to write the story of his life, his talent, and his great love. Retracing the past three decades of their history, Hall writes with tender passion about the central characters in Arthur’s life: Sister Julia, a “fire-baptized” child evangelist called to the ministry when she was nine, whose life seems considerably less “redeemed” out of the pulpit; and Julia’s brother Jimmy, Arthur’s most gifted accompanist, the catalyst of his success as a singer, and his devoted lover. An unforgettable epic drama spanning the distance from the Apollo in Harlem to the Olympia in Paris, Just Above My Head is a magnificent tale of personal courage, commitment, and profound love filled with all the lyricism, violence, and compassion that comprise the human condition.
