The Fire Next Time
James Baldwin was born in 1924 in New York. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), which evokes his experiences as a boy preacher in Harlem, was an immediate success. Baldwin’s second novel, Giovanni's Room (1956) has become a landmark of gay literature and Another Country (1962) caused a literary sensation. His searing essay collections Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961) contain many of the works that made him an influential figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Baldwin published several other collections of non-fiction, including The Fire Next Time (1963) and No Name in the Street (1972). His short stories are collected in Going to Meet the Man (1965). His later works include the novels Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone (1968), If Beale Street Could Talk (1974) and Just Above My Head (1979).James Baldwin won a number of literary fellowships: a Eugene F. Saxon Memorial Trust Award, a Rosenwald Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Partisan Review Fellowship and a Ford Foundation grant. He was made a Commander of the Legion of Honour in 1986. He died in 1987 in France

Another Country
'A masterwork... an almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience' Washinton PostWhen Another Country appeared in 1962, it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit.'In Another Country, Baldwin created the essential American drama of the century' Colm Tóibín

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

Niet door water, maar door vuur
Niet door water, maar door vuur deed Amerika opschrikken toen het in 1963 uitkwam. In twee persoonlijke, gepassioneerde brieven schrijft James Baldwin over liefde, geloof en hypocrisie in het ‘land van de vrijheid’ en wat het betekent om zwart te zijn in Amerika. Het boek groeide uit tot een van de invloedrijkste teksten over rassenrelaties ooit.
