Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm ToÌibiÌn first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing. He had even considered entering a seminary and was searching for literature that would offer illumination and insight. Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, ToÌibiÌn found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar. From On James Baldwin, Baldwin was interested in the hidden and dramatic areas in his own being, and was prepared as a writer to explore difficult truths about his own private life. In his fiction, he had to battle for the right of his protagonists to choose or influence their destinies. He knew about guilt and rage and bitter privacies in a way that few of his White novelist contemporaries did. And this was not simply because he was Black and homosexual; the difference arose from the very nature of his talent, from the texture of his sensibility. "All art," he wrote, "is a kind of confession, more or less oblique. All artists, if they are to survive, are forced, at last, to tell the whole story, to vomit the anguish up."On James Baldwin is a magnificent contemporary author's tribute to one of his most consequential literary progenitors"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 505 0 $a The pitch of passion -- Crying holy -- Paris, Harlem -- The private life -- The terror and the surrender. 600 10 $a Baldwin, James, $d 1924-1987 $x Criticism and interpretation. 776 08 $i Online version: $a ToÌibiÌn, Colm, 1955- $t On James Baldwin $d Waltham, Massachusetts : Brandeis University Press, [2024] $z 9781684582488 $w (DLC) 2024015802 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20240717024546.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=557C815C440211EF98CC15ED37ECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
