The best of the best from a powerful voice in the American literary landscape who fearlessly tackled race, sex, politics, and art in his internationally acclaimed novels, short stories, plays, and essays. “[Baldwin] uses words as the sea uses waves, to flow and beat, advance and retreat, rise and take a bow in disappearing...the thought becomes poetry and the poetry illuminates thought.” —Langston HughesJames Baldwin was and remains a powerfully prophetic voice in the American literary landscape. His literary achievement is a lasting legacy about what it means to be American.Vintage Baldwin includes the short story “Sonny’s Blues”; the galvanizing civil rights examination “My Dungeon Letter to My Nephew on the One Hundredth Anniversary of the Emancipation”; the essays “Fifth Avenue, A Letter from Harlem,” “The Discovery of What It Means to Be an American,” and “Nobody Knows My A Letter from the South”; and excerpts from the novel Another Country and the play The Amen Corner.“If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one.” —Michael Ondaatje
