  • Oxford University Press James Baldwin's Sonny's Blues

    Price: £18.99

    Brand: Oxford University Press

     

    Description: A close reading of James Baldwin's short story Sonny's Blues that provides insight into his life and ideas about art. Tom Jenks's reading of James Baldwin's Sonny's Blues follows a scene-by-scene, sometimes line-by-line, discussion of the pattern by which Baldwin indelibly writes Sonny's Blues into the consciousness of readers. It provides ongoing observations of the aesthetics underlying the particulars of the story, with references to Edward P. Jones (whose magnificent story All Aunt Hagar's Children bears a knowing relationship to Sonny's Blues,) to Charlie Parker's music, and to Billie Holiday's Am I Blue? and John Coltrane's A Love Supreme as part of the musical progression Baldwin creates, and with attention to Baldwin's oratorical gifts and the biblical references in the story, to its time structure, characterizations, dramatic action, and, most of all, its totality of effect. Drawing on Baldwin's book-length essay The Fire Next Time, which Baldwin published six years after the publication of the short story, Tom Jenks offers insight on some of the sources in Baldwin's life for Sonny's Blues and on the logic and passion by which life may be meaningfully transformed into art.

    Description: “I was not born to be what someone said I was. I was not born to be defined by someone else, but by myself, and myself only.”. When, in the fall of 1987, the poet Quincy Troupe traveled to the south of France to interview James Baldwin, Baldwin’s brother David told him to ask Baldwin about everything— Baldwin was critically ill and David knew that this might be the writer’s last chance to speak at length about his life and work. The result is one of the most eloquent and revelatory interviews of Baldwin’s career, a conversation that ranges widely over such topics as his childhood in Harlem, his close friendship with Miles Davis, his relationship with writers like Toni Morrison and Richard Wright, his years in France, and his ever-incisive thoughts on the history of race relations and the African-American experience. Also collected here are significant interviews from other moments in Baldwin’s life, including an in-depth interview conducted by Studs Terkel shortly after the publication of Nobody Knows My Name. These interviews showcase, above all, Baldwin’s fearlessness and integrity as a writer, thinker, and individual, as well as the profound struggles he faced along the way.

  • Beacon Press Jimmy's Blues and Other Poems

    Price: £15.99

    Brand: Beacon Press

     

    Description: During his lifetime, James Baldwin authored seven novels, as well as several plays and essay collections, many of which were published to wide-spread praise. Baldwin's novels and essays brought him respect as a public intellectual and admiration as a writer. However, Baldwin's earliest writing was in poetic form, and some argue that even Baldwin considered himself a poet first and foremost. One can see this inclination in the poetic rhythms of his prose. Nonetheless, his single book of poetry Jimmy's Blues, which was published in 1983 only a few short years before his death in 1987, never attracted the spotlight as much as his novels and non-fiction did. This collection will include the 19 poems from Jimmy's Blues as well as six poems from a limited edition book called Gypsy, of which only 325 copies were ever published. Baldwin is known for his relentless honesty and startlingly prophetic insights on issues of race, gender, class, and poverty, and he is just as enlightening and bold in his poetry. This collection will present and celebrate James Baldwin the poet and master of many literary forms. Beacon Press Jimmy's Blues and Other Poems - shop the best deal online on thebookbug.co.uk

  • Taschen GmbH James Baldwin. Steve Schapiro. The Fire Next Time

    Price: £15.00

    Brand: Taschen GmbH

     

    Description: First published in 1963, James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time stabbed at the heart of America's so-called 'Negro problem." As remarkable for its masterful prose as for its frank and personal account of the black experience in the United States, it is considered one of the most passionate and influential explorations of 1960s race relations, weaving thematic threads of love, faith, and family into a candid assault on the hypocrisy of the 'land of the free." Now, James Baldwin's rich, raw, and ever relevant prose is reprinted with more than 100 photographs from Steve Schapiro, who traveled the American South with Baldwin for Life magazine. The encounter thrust Schapiro into the thick of the movement, allowing for vital, often iconic, images both of civil rights leaders | ??including Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Rosa Parks, Fred Shuttlesworth, and Jerome Smith | ??and such landmark events as the March on Washington and the Selma march. Rounding out the edition are Schapiro's stories from the field, an original introduction by civil rights legend and U.S. Congressman John Lewis, captions by journalist Marcia Davis, and an essay by Gloria Baldwin Karefa-Smart, who was with her brother James in Sierra Leone when he started to work on the story. The result is a remarkable visual and textual record of one of the most important and enduring struggles of the American experience. First published as a TASCHEN Collector's Edition, now available in a pocket-sized Centennial Edition. Taschen GmbH James Baldwin. Steve Schapiro.
