This stunningly personal document and extraordinary history of the turbulent '60s and early '70s displays James Baldwin's fury and despair more deeply than any of his other works.

In vivid detail he remembers the Harlem childhood that shaped his early consciousness, the later events that scored his heart with pain - the murders of Martin Luther King and Malcolm X, his sojourns in Europe and in Hollywood, and his return to the American South to confront a violent America face-to-face.

after watching "I am not your negro" I felt compelled to read this man's works. This is the first one that I've listened to I hope to purchase the actual paper books that he wrote in the coming days and weeks.

a moving ,Soul crushing ,inspiring work of art

This may be Baldwin’s most personal account. His understanding of The Black Panthers burns through the page. His portrait of the Brutal Life of a Black Man forced upon him in America.

This is the Voice that White Americans should be listening to. His Voice can make us feel and understand.

Five Stars.

Baldwin’s Electric Voice perfectly captured.

First: A great book. Baldwin’s analyses and arguments are/were compelling and cogent. And eerily prescient. Timeless, in large part.

And, Kevin Kenerly’s narration is extraordinary. Brilliant. Arresting! It amplifies and enlivens Baldwin’s prose. The tone, pitch and “warmth” of Kenerly’s voice is award-worthy! I could listen to him narrate anything.

Simply extraordinary.

Extraordinary! In every way.
