Description
James Baldwin's collection of eight stories explores the profound wounds of discrimination, both inflicted and endured, in a powerful and poignant portrayal of human experience.

First published in 1965, these stories offer a glimpse into the literary powers of a writer at the height of his craft, providing a powerful snapshot of a time and a place that continues to resonate today.
