«Nothing but the darkness, and all around them destruction, and before them nothing but the fire-a bastard people, far from God, singing and crying in the wilderness!» First published in 1953, Baldwin's first novel is a short but intense, semi-autobiographical exploration of the troubled life of the Grimes family in Harlem during the Depression.

  • Beenzu Muzyambahas quoted3 years ago
    She could not, that day, think of one decent white person in the whole world.
  • Beenzu Muzyambahas quoted3 years ago
    She looked out into the quiet, sunny streets, and for the first time in her life, she hated it all—the white city, the white world.
