About this Item
Description:
Uncorrected proof copy of the first UK edition of Baldwin's "criminally underrated" (Weekes) fourth novel about the life of a Black actor. TELL ME is the story of Black actor Leo Proudhammer, his brilliant career shadowed by the condescension, alienation, and physical threats visited on him by a white America that will tolerate him only so far as he entertains, and which exacts heavy penalties for his efforts to live as a free man and artist. The book draws heavily on his own experiences with the Actors Studio during the production of BLUES FOR MISTER CHARLIE, and hides none of its author's bitterness and pain. "TELL ME HOW LONG THE TRAIN'S BEEN GONE is a masterpiece by one of the best living writers in America. Which is not to say, naturally, that it will comfort or cheer you much" (Thompson). 7.75'' x 5.25''. Original tan printed wrappers. 407, [1] pages. Ink owner name to front wrapper. Spine creasing (due to production), some soil light bumping to corners. Interior clean. Seller Inventory # 51891
