Nobody Knows My Name

More Notes of a Native Son

By: James Baldwin

Narrated by: Kevin Kenerly

James Baldwin's Nobody Knows My Name records the last months of this famed American writer's 10-year self-exile in Europe, his return to America and to Harlem, and his first trip south at the time of the school integration battles. It contains Baldwin's controversial and intimate profiles of Norman Mailer, Richard Wright, and Ingmar Bergman. And it explores such varied themes as the relations between blacks and whites, the role of blacks in America and in Europe, and the question of sexual identity.

Nobody Knows My Name

I enjoyed this reading !! The book was gripping. And this reading is also as compelling. Loved it!!

enlightening

this is my second time and more knowledge was gain as adult, compared to when I read it as a teen.

Cogent and interesting

To say that this is well read, is kind of beside the point. These insights from James Baldwin are often as applicable now as they were when he wrote them. I continue to be glad to dig into Baldwin‘s works.

More Notes of a Native Son

Baldwin at his best, beautifully read. James Baldwin’s essays are essential reading for any critically conscious American reader. These readings are clear, engaging, and a pleasure to listen to.

Growing up Black

Looking at life as a black person today through his eyes from back then, brilliant. I can’t wait to read more of his writings
