Go Tell It on the Mountain - Deluxe Edition

A deluxe edition of James Baldwin''s haunting coming-of-age story, with a new introduction by Roxane Gay and a stunning package. Originally published in 1953,< Go Tell It on the Mountain< was James Baldwin''s first major work, based in part on his own childhood in Harlem. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy''s discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem. Baldwin''s rendering of his protagonist''s spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle toward self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understood themselves.
