A Week in Literary HistoryAugust 8th, 2002 American novelist James Baldwin (Go Tell It on the Mountain, 1953) is born in Harlem in 1924.
The adopted son of a preacher, Baldwin turned away from religion at seventeen and never looked back. His novels, reviews, and essays document the heyday of Greenwich Village, the turbulence of the Sixties, and the complications of being black and homosexual in America. But at their best, they go well beyond documentary value into the world of narrative art. Suggested Reading Novels Go Tell It on the Mountain, 1953. Giovanni's Room, 1956. Another Country, 1962. Plays The Amen Corner, 1954. Blues for Mister Charlie, 1964. Essays Notes of a Native Son, 1955. Nobody Knows My Name: More Notes of a Native Son, 1961. The Fire Next Time, 1963. The Price of the Ticket, 1985.
