Description: "Never before available, the unexpurgated last interview with James Baldwin,one of the most eloquent and revelatory interviews of Baldwin's career. The conversation ranges widely over such topics as his childhood in Harlem, his close friendship with Miles Davis, his relationship with writers like Toni Morrison and Richard Wright, his years in France, and his ever-incisive thoughts on the history of race relations and the African-American experience. Also collected here are significant interviews from other moments in Baldwin's life, including an in-depth interview conducted by Studs Terkel shortly after the publication of Nobody knows my name. These interviews showcase, above all, Baldwin's fearlessness and integrity as a writer, thinker, and individual, as well as the profound struggles he faced along the way."--from publisher.
Notes: Interviews by Studs Terkel, Julius Lester, Richard Goldstein, and Quincy Troupe.
