  • the fire next time.

    at 67 this is my first reading of the brilliance for james baldwin. this book is sooooo profound and enlightening to me, showing how he could and has analyzed the state of american race relations and how soooo tragically things have not changed that much for some. how is it even logical how one can judge and harm a person because of the color of their skin. it is absurdly ridiculous, and yet, THERE IT IS
