In this honest and stunning novel, James Baldwin has given America a moving story of love in the face of injustice. Told through the eyes of Tish, a nineteen-year-old girl, in love with Fonny, a young sculptor who is the father of her child, Baldwin’s story mixes the sweet and the sad. Tish and Fonny have pledged to get married, but Fonny is falsely accused of a terrible crime and imprisoned. Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions–affection, despair, and hope. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.
James Arthur Baldwin was an American novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic.
James Baldwin offered a vital literary voice during the era of civil rights activism in the 1950s and '60s. He was the eldest of nine children; his stepfather was a minister. At age 14, Baldwin became a preacher at the small Fireside Pentecostal Church in Harlem. In the early 1940s, he transferred his faith from religion to literature. Critics, however, note the impassioned cadences of Black churches are still evident in his writing. Go Tell It on the Mountain, his first novel, is a partially autobiographical account of his youth. His essay collections Notes of a Native Son, Nobody Knows My Name, and The Fire Next Time were influential in informing a large white audience.
From 1948, Baldwin made his home primarily in the south of France, but often returned to the USA to lecture or teach. In 1957, he began spending half of each year in New York City. His novels include Giovanni's Room, about a white American expatriate who must come to terms with his homosexuality, and Another Country, about racial and gay sexual tensions among New York intellectuals. His inclusion of gay themes resulted in a lot of savage criticism from the Black community. Eldridge Cleaver, of the Black Panthers, stated the Baldwin's writing displayed an "agonizing, total hatred of blacks." Baldwin's play, Blues for Mister Charlie, was produced in 1964. Going to Meet the Man and Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone provided powerful descriptions of American racism. As an openly gay man, he became increasingly outspoken in condemning discrimination against lesbian and gay people.
On November 30, 1987 Baldwin died from stomach cancer in Saint-Paul-de-Vence, France. He was buried at the Ferncliff Cemetery in Hartsdale, near New York City.
很惊讶这么适合改编成电影的著名小说,今年才有人拍。对话张力十足,人物心理和形象描述精准,还带着Baldwin写作中一贯以之的充满力量的愤怒感,而对爱情的描述又温柔让人动容。他的小说文笔比他的随笔好很多
评分让我想起看过的纪录片《When they See Us》,形象地说明了“欲加之罪,何患无辞”。作者的语言非常优美。思考和描述贯穿得自如,流畅。会去读他其他的书。他的愤怒或者说情绪是不起哄的那种,反而让人更加感到义愤。
评分structurally是一本非常好的小说但是读起来很慢很压抑很无聊. 虽然悲剧是压迫对整个社会体制但是baldwin对一切充满怀疑却对黑人女性的特殊力量忠诚且乐观, not sure if it's problematic if it's the only place where Baldwin's allegiance lies. 另外在书中读到法学院门口各条街好亲切.
评分有聲書。所有James Baldwin的作品,聽不聽得懂都默認滿分。

提起战后美国的黑人民权运动,我们马上会想起马丁·路德·金那篇振聋发聩、闻名天下的演说《我有一个梦》,这篇呼吁以和平的方式消灭种族歧视、让黑人享有平等公正的民主权利的檄文,可以说是一面引导黑人走向自由之途的光辉旗帜。差不多在相同的时代背景下,詹姆斯·鲍德温的...
评分2019年奥斯卡颁奖典礼上,女演员雷吉娜·金因为在电影《假若比尔街能说话》中扮演的母亲形象,拿下了含金量极高的最佳女配角。影片中,女主角的母亲是个沉着冷静却让人动容的角色,她为了女儿的幸福不惜远赴千里之外,在近乎为零的希望面前迟迟不肯松手,只记得自己是个母亲。 ...
评分一位作家应该用自己的作品去取悦读者,从而获得更多的声誉和利益,还是应该让自己的作品成为表达自己内心观点的途径,从而足以影响感化到他人,乃至整个社会。如果把问题放到现在,此时此地,我总觉得任何一种选择都不会妨碍这位作家成功与否,毕竟需求决定供给,喜好决定市场...
评分 评分本书作者詹姆斯.鲍德温,美国黑人,著名作家,社会活动家。他对美国的种族歧视极度失望,为此还长期移居法国,十一年后回到美国,参与了黑人解放运动。这本作品大概在一九五三年左右,鲍德温将近三十岁,正是他的创作鼎盛期,创作了《另一个国度》、《土生子礼记》、《假如比尔...
