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.......
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"

The very bed in its sweet disorder expressed the vileness that occurred
James can write ❤️
Slings and arrows suffered created a masterpiece.

Simply powerful. I love this. Thank you.
James Baldwin reading slowly, my teacher wanted me to read faster like an electric train 😂
Any narrator other than Baldwin is a wasted effort, in audio, and almost always literary too
Powerful
"Great thirsty heat..."
It's funny how writers can almost predict the type of vernacular that people might use decades later.
Still 🔥
Does Baldwin narrate any of his other books? Links? Thanks!
