PUBLISHER'S SUMMARY:
James Baldwin, the preeminent writer on black and white America, reads 2 scenes from Just Above My Head, his 1979 novel, which may have been inspired by the life and death of singer Sam Cooke. The first excerpt is the opening scene from the novel, and the second is the narrator's crucial childhood memory of his brother and their father. Widely regarded as one of the world's finest essayists, Baldwin created a rich body of work during his lifetime, including 7 novels, 5 volumes of essays, 3 plays, and 2 collections of short fiction. The readings included here were recorded in 1984 at Amherst, where Baldwin was teaching at the time. Please note that Baldwin has a distinct style of speaking, which can be hard to understand at times.
