Synopsis
''A masterwork... an almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience'' Washinton Post
When Another Country appeared in 1962, it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin''s masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit.
''In Another Country, Baldwin created the essential American drama of the century'' Colm Tóibín

From the Publisher
"An almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience" --Washington Post
"Brilliantly and fiercely told." --The New York Times
From the Inside Flap
Set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, among other locales, Another Country is a novel of passions--sexual, racial, political, artistic--that is stunning for its emotional intensity and haunting sensuality, depicting men and women, blacks and whites, stripped of their masks of gender and race by love and hatred at the most elemental and sublime. In a small set of friends, Baldwin imbues the best and worst intentions of liberal America in the early 1970s.
