Go Tell It on the Mountain
James Baldwin
In one of the greatest American classics, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin tells the story of the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Originally published in 1953, Baldwin said of his first novel, "Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else." "With vivid imagery, with lavish attention to details ... a] feverish story." --The New York TimesBinding Type: PaperbackAuthor: James BaldwinPublisher: VintagePublished: 09/12/2013ISBN: 9780345806543Pages: 263Weight: 0.30lbsSize: 6.80h x 4.10w x 0.90d
