Synopsis
A stunning deluxe edition of James Baldwin's timeless, bestselling novel of love and solidarity in the face of injustice—the beloved classic that inspired the major motion picture directed by Barry Jenkins
“One of the best books James Baldwin has ever written—perhaps the best of all.”—The Philadelphia Inquirer
Includes a new introduction by Brit Bennett, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Vanishing Half, and special cover art featuring a portrait of James Baldwin by his friend and contemporary Beauford Delaney
Tish is nineteen years old and in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but when Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime, their families set out to clear his name and reunite the young lovers. As they face an uncertain future, Tish and Fonny experience a kaleidoscope of emotions—affection, despair, and, not least of all, hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, James Baldwin gives us two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.

Paperback. Condition: New. Deluxe Edition (Second Printing). 197pp. Octavo [20.5cm]. Illustrated wraps. "A stunning edition of James Baldwin's timeless novel, with a new introduction by bestselling novelist Brit Bennett and special cover art designed by Baldwin's friend and contemporary Beauford Delaney From one of our greatest writers, James Baldwin's If Beale Street Could Talk is a profoundly moving novel about love in the face of injustice that is as socially resonant today as it was when it was first published. Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin's story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotionsaffection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche."
