Nobody Knows My Name

Trade Paperback – New

From one of the most brilliant writers and thinkers of the twentieth century comes a collection of “passionate, probing, controversial” essays (The Atlantic) on topics ranging from race relations in the United States to the role of the writer in society.

Told with Baldwin’s characteristically unflinching honesty, this splendid book (The New York Times) offers illuminating, deeply felt essays along with personal accounts of Richard Wright, Norman Mailer and other writers.

James Baldwin is a skillful writer, a man of fine intelligence and a true companion in the desire to make life human. To take a cue from his title, we had better learn his name. The New York Times
