About This Item
E-330: Dial Press. Very Good in Very Good dust jacket. 1979. First Edition; First Printing. Hardcover. Hardcover. 8vo. Published by The Dial Press, New York. 1979. 597 pgs.

Boards have light shelf-wear present to the extremities. No ownership marks present. Text is clean and free of marks. Binding tight and solid. The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this novel with a stunning, unforgettable experience. Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that inflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Montana and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses - and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land. EB; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 597 pages .
