@CR65 i have read most of his books--had to because i feel in love with his writting, his honesty and passion. May it inspire you to read from this prophet.

One of my favortie writers ever. A man of a powerful and engrossing intellect and vivid imagination. I am currently reading "Just Above My Head" and have read many of his books and he is fantastic. I love his writing style and courage for living life as he saw and wanted it. Kudos to you Mr. Baldwin, God rest your soul.

English is a great language... the majority of everyone on Earth speaks it or is trying to learn it.

agreed. And a great voice too.

He was influenced by Lorraine Hansbury and Richard Wright, and the artist Daleney,all black folks!
He did NOT suggest that...what he stated is that they were NOT, black literary models were not presented to him and nor did he agree or accept white literary authorship as models.
He did love Richard Wright, that he spoke and wrote about in ALL of his work.
He was discusing how language has formed him in THIS country. How those language models or lack thereof, did NOT meet with his acceptance

A man of great insight and integrity.
