DESCRIPTION:
"An almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience" --Washington Post"Brilliantly and fiercely told." --The New York Times
Published in 1962, this is an emotionally intense novel of love, hatred, race, and liberal America in the 1960s. Set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, Another Country tells the story of the suicide of jazz musician Rufus Scott and the friends who search for an understanding of his life and death, discovering uncomfortable truths about themselves along the way.
another country is NOW Darryl K. Clark this novel diffuses baldwn's discussion on race through the friendships and connnections a small group of new yorkers make in the states and europe. the interactions are alternately sensual, violent and tragic but all are powerful and continue to haunt the reader long after the last page is turned. baldwin joins his views on race with exposing sexuality among the you. "Open your mind" according to Deborah A. Kaiser. Love Baldwin's writing style because he opens your mind to different perspectives.Another Country seeks to bring understanding to those who are often most misunderstood. Gay men, black women and adulterous wives, those societies tend to hate the most, the people who are often only understood by one another. I would recommend the book for open minds; it is a passionat. Five Stars FilmGal Maybe Baldwin's best and most neglected novel.
