Condition: Near fine or better. First Edition. Signed limited Franklin Library edition of Baldwin's first novel, his semi-autobiographical "extended rite of exorcism" (Harris). In writing this book, Baldwin did more than draw from his own experiences growing up with a religiously domineering father in 1930s Harlem: he wrote and re-wrote the work for ten years as a way to come to terms with the painful relationship with his father. In the novel as in Baldwin's own life, the hero's path to acceptance lies not in obedience and acceptance but in the intellectual liberation achieved through books and education. One of TIME's "Best English-Language Novels from 1923 to 2005," this limited edition includes a special foreword by Baldwin. An American classic. 8'' x 5''. Original full gilt-stamped leather, raised bands. All edges gilt, red silk ribbon marker, watered silk endpapers. Illustrated by Silverman with full-page plates. [18], 232 pages. Signed by Baldwin to early blank, as issued. Touch of shelfwear at bottom corners. Trace sunning to spine. Else bright, clean, and sharp. Signed.…

First edition of Baldwin's first book. Octavo, original cloth. Association copy, inscribed by James Baldwin on the front free endpaper to his mother, "Mama from Rizzy from Jimmy - August 21st!" The recipient, Baldwin's mother Emma Berdis Jones, left Baldwin's biological father before moving to Harlem where Baldwin was born on August 2, 1924. When James was 3 years old, his mother married a Baptist preacher David Baldwin with whom she had eight children between 1927 and 1943. The family was poor, and Baldwin's stepfather, to whom he referred in essays as his father, treated him more harshly than his other children. His intelligence, combined with the persecution he endured in his stepfather's home, drove Baldwin to spend much of his time alone in libraries where he discovered his passion for writing at an early age. At the age of 13, he wrote his first article, titled "Harlemâ"Then and Now", which was published in his school's magazine, The Douglass Pilot. Baldwin and his mother remained close throughout his lifetime, she was an honorary guest at his 60th birthday celebration at UMass Amherst in August 1984.
