"Brilliant and fiercely told."--The New York Times
One of The Atlantic's Great American Novels of the Past 100 Years
Stunning for its emotional intensity and haunting sensuality, this book depicts men and women, blacks and whites, stripped of their masks of gender and race by love and hatred at the most elemental and sublime.
Nominated as one of America's best-loved novels by PBS's The Great American Read.
"I remember reading “Another Country,” by James Baldwin, during the writing of my first book and feeling so fully enveloped in the New York world he created."
writer + editor
In 1964 the Georgia State Literature Commission banned James Baldwin's Another Country. "Since this book was written by a Negro we realized that it was inflammatory..." Like, y'all can just come out and say it. There's precedent. #BannedBooks https://t.co/AQEUUTU0QJ
