BALDWIN JAMES JAMES BALDWIN 3-BOOK BOX SET

Celebrating the Centenary of James Baldwin's birth  a box set of Baldwin's principal novels 
featuring Go Tell It on the Mountain   Giovanni's Room   and If Beale Street Could Talk .  
These deluxe editions feature new introductions by Roxane Gay  Kevin Young  and Brit Bennett. 
The stunningly designed slipcase with art by Baldwin's friend and contemporary Beauford Delaney
will make the perfect perennial gift and keepsake.    Originally published in 1953  Go Tell It
on the Mountain was James Baldwin's first major work  based in part on his own childhood. With
lyrical precision and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate  Baldwin chronicles
a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister
of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem.   Giovanni's Room is set in the Paris of the
1950s  where a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and
conventional morality. One of the first novels to openly explore the theme of homosexuality  it
paved the way for generations of gay and lesbian novelists.  And If Beale Street Could Talk is
a stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is
wrongly accused of a crime --a profoundly moving novel about love in the face of injustice that
is as socially resonant today as it was when it was first published.
