Editorial Reviews
Review
"If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one."
--Michael Ondaatje
"A major work of black American fiction...  His best novel yet, even Baldwin's most devoted readers are due to be stunned by it."
--The New Republic
"Emotional dynamite...  a powerful assault upon the cynicism that seems today to drain our determination to confront deep social problems."
--Library Journal
"A moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless."
--The New York Times Book Review
From the Trade Paperback edition.
