The events there that shaped his youth greatly influenced Baldwin's work, much of which focused on his experiences as a black man in white America. <I>Go Tell It on the Mountain</i>, <I>The Fire Next Time</i>, <I>Notes of a Native Son</i>, and <I>Giovanni's Room</i> are just a few of his classic fiction and nonfiction books that remain an essential part of the American canon.<P><P>In Baldwin's Harlem, award-winning journalist Herb Boyd combines impeccable biographical research with astute literary criticism, and reveals to readers Baldwin's association with Harlem on both metaphorical and realistic levels. For example, Boyd describes Baldwin's relationship with Harlem Renaissance poet laureate Countee Cullen, who taught Baldwin French in the ninth grade. Packed with telling anecdotes, <I>Baldwin's Harlem</i> illuminates the writer's diverse views and impressions of the community that would remain a consistent presence in virtually all of his writing.<P><P><I>Baldwin's Harlem</i> provides an intelligent and enlightening look at one of America's most important literary enclaves.<P><P> 434597 8 1 2008 Baldwin's Harlem: A Biography of James Baldwin total:12|5:1|4:5|3:5|2:1| 12 42 29 5 445892 074329307X 9780743293075 12 5 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255892604m/445892.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/445892.Baldwin_s_Harlem_A_Biography_of_James_Baldwin 4 0 false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 11:44:23 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 10 12:14:25 -0800 2009 more...]]> 445892 074329307X 9780743293075 12 5 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255892604m/445892.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/445892.Baldwin_s_Harlem_A_Biography_of_James_Baldwin 0 0 false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Wed Dec 31 13:04:42 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 19 19:31:10 -0800 2009 445892 074329307X 9780743293075 12 5 3.50 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1255892604m/445892.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/445892.Baldwin_s_Harlem_A_Biography_of_James_Baldwin 3 0 false Wed Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Fri Mar 20 11:39:21 -0700 2009 Wed Apr 01 06:51:19 -0700 2009
