About this title

Synopsis

Black Expressions 2nd volume of its new series, featuring three works by the masterful James Baldwin. Baldwin's first novel, the instant classic "Go Tell It on the Mountain" focuses on John, a teenage boy in Harlem who longs for both salvation and damnation, the novel examines two days and a very long night in the lives of several members of John's fundamentalist church. "The Fire Next Time" is Baldwin's plea in two masterful essays to "end the racial nightmare." Baldwin's novel "If Beale Street Could Talk" is one of his most popular works today. Fonny and Tish are a young New York City couple in love, excited to begin a life together. When Fonny, a talented artist living in the city's West Village, falls afoul of a policeman, with a vendetta, he finds himself locked up for a crime he didn't commit.
