Industry Reviews
"[S]eriously flawed as they all are, Baldwin's first three novels...now seem much more interesting than his essays, even if the great promise he showed was never fulfilled. The prose, more supple, less mannered than in his nonfiction, exhibits Baldwin's effortless synthesis of the two dominant stylistic influences on 20th-century American fiction, Henry James and Ernest Hemingway."
New York Times Book Review - Michael Anderson (03/29/1998)
"W ith the possible exception of 'Giovanni's Room', Toni Morrison has done a superb job of selecting Baldwin's best, most important and influential work....The uniqueness of his voice and the rightness of his vision come through clearly in his novels, stories and essays. It is a voice and vision that is needed now more than it was 30 years ago."
