Just Above My Head: Penguin Modern Classics

Autor James Baldwin
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 oct 1994
'This is the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers' Edmund White,Washington Post

When Arthur Montana, world-renowned 'Emperor of Soul', is found dead in a London pub, his grief-stricken brother looks back over thirty years in the lives of their group of friends: from their childhood spent preaching and singing in Harlem churches, to their struggles with war and poverty, and their encounters with wealth, love and fame.

Set against a vividly drawn background of the civil rights movement of the sixties, Baldwin's last novel is a monumental saga that ranges from New York to Paris, Korea to Africa to portray how profoundly racial politics can shape life, especially in the private business of love.

'Warm, melancholy . . . Hall Montana's voice is the conduit for Baldwin's most distinctive quality as a writer, his abundant tenderness'TheNew York Times

Recenzii

The best of his work ... stands comparison with any of its period to come out of the United States
This is the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers
If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one
Baldwin is one of the few genuinely indispensable American writers
