Una meditazione fondamentale sulla razza di uno dei nostri più grandi scrittori, Barack Obama 'Noi, bianchi e neri, abbiamo profondamente bisogno l'uno dell'altro se vogliamo davvero diventare una nazione'. L'appassionato appello di James Baldwin a 'porre fine all'incubo razziale' in America fu un best-seller quando apparve nel 1963, galvanizzando una nazione e dando voce al nascente movimento per i diritti civili. Raccontato sotto forma di due 'lettere' intensamente personali, The Fire Next Time è allo stesso tempo una potente evocazione della prima infanzia di Baldwin ad Harlem e una condanna sferzante della terribile eredità dell'ingiustizia razziale. 'Sermone, ultimatum, confessione, deposizione, testamento e cronaca. Tutto presentato in una prosa bruciante e brillante' The New York Times Book Review 'Baldwin scrive con grande passione. Puzza di verità, come i ghetti di New York e Londra, Chicago e Manchester puzzano della nostra ipocrisia' Sunday Times 'Il grande poeta-profeta del movimento per i diritti civili. La sua opera fondamentale' Guardian.

James Baldwin was born in 1924 in New York. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), which evokes his experiences as a boy preacher in Harlem, was an immediate success. Baldwin’s second novel, Giovanni's Room (1956) has become a landmark of gay literature and Another Country (1962) caused a literary sensation. His searing essay collections Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961) contain many of the works that made him an influential figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Baldwin published several other collections of non-fiction, including The Fire Next Time (1963) and No Name in the Street (1972). His short stories are collected in Going to Meet the Man (1965). His later works include the novels Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone (1968), If Beale Street Could Talk (1974) and Just Above My Head (1979).
James Baldwin won a number of literary fellowships: a Eugene F. Saxon Memorial Trust Award, a Rosenwald Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Partisan Review Fellowship and a Ford Foundation grant. He was made a Commander of the Legion of Honour in 1986. He died in 1987 in France
