Read this many years ago, when I was much, much younger. Hearing it read by the author, in lieu of reading for myself is quite different. It is much more poignant with the author's narration.
I always thought Baldwin to be a stirring penman,
extremely prolific and marvelously explicit.
I thought this very short awakening moment for the writer was so eloquently shared . . . . . . that I
cried then, years ago, as I still do now.......

The very bed in its sweet disorder expressed the vileness that occurred
James can write ❤️

Slings and arrows suffered created a masterpiece.

What a wonderful voice for Mankind, an eloquent evangelist who I can easily listen to all day. Thank you James Baldwin..."there can be nothing more criminal than to attack a Man's integrity in an attempt to destroy that Man"

James Baldwin reading slowly, my teacher wanted me to read faster like an electric train 😂

"Great thirsty heat..."
It's funny how writers can almost predict the type of vernacular that people might use decades later.

Any narrator other than Baldwin is a wasted effort, in audio, and almost always literary too

Powerful
