In these times when readers are seeking hope and purpose, this collection of quotes from James Baldwin engages both the heart and mind, renewing inspiration in Baldwin fans and introducing new readers to one of the greatest writers and minds of the 20th century.
Arranged in an attractive, paper-over-board package that’s perfect for gift giving and containing over 40 quotations and verses selected from a variety of Baldwin's speeches, articles, and essay collections, sample excerpts include:
· “You’ve got to tell the world how to treat you. If the world tells you how you are going to be treated, you are in trouble.”
· “You think your pain and your heartbreak are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read.”
· “The point is to get your work done, and your work is to change the world.”
· “For, while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn’t any other tale to tell, it’s the only light we’ve got in all this darkness.”
And others that tackle themes such as love, the human condition, forgiveness, racism and resistance.
Viewed as one of America’s most important writers, James Baldwin was a literary powerhouse whose work touched on themes like poverty, love, race, sexuality, and white supremacy. His career spanned five decades and his writing presented readers with a wide body of work: from novels and plays, to public speeches, essays, and poetry. Now with this bite sized book of memorable quotes, new readers and Baldwin fans alike can enjoy some of his most incisive thoughts.
