The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this
novel with a stunning, unforgettable experience. Here, in a
monumental saga of love and rage, Baldwin goes back to
Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell
It on the Mountain, to the homosexual passion of
Giovanni's Room, and to the political fire that
enflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of
gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a
journey into another country of the soul and senses--and a
living contemporary history of black struggle in this land.
