James Baldwin
The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this novel with a stunning, unforgettable experience. Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that inflames his nonfiction work.
Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Montana and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses - and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land.

Baldwin’s love scenes are explicit and not for the faint of heart.
I read the novel back in the 70s but enjoyed listening to it EXCEPT when the reader tried to imitate a woman’s voice . His rendition was excruciating. Why not have an actual woman read those parts ?
Wonderful poignant story

This book has an interesting structure because early on we learn that one of the characters has died. The rest of the book goes back to childhood, adolescence, and on to adulthood. I knew the death was coming, but was so invested in the characters that it was still a shock when it really happened. It seems that some people thought this overly long, but it needed to be written this way. Be warned that there is violence, sex, and racism here. That should not keep people away from it, but it's good to know.
While you could read this as your first Baldwin book, I always suggest "Go Tell it On the Mountain" for a starter. I almost feel as if you should earn the right to this book by experiencing other works first. I did the narration very much.
This is part of my "Fall Ahead" reading theme. I've got unfinished books and trilogies I'm working on. I sort of cheated here, but I'm calling this working towards finishing Baldwin's works. I'm certain I don't have many left, but we didn't have Goodreads to keep track of books back then.
