Reviews
"One of the best books Baldwin has ever writtenperhaps the best of all." The Philadelphia Inquirer "A moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless." Joyce Carol Oates "If Van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our twentiethth-century one." Michael Ondaatje "Striking and particularly haunting. . . . A beauty, especially in its rendering of youthful passion." Cosmopolitan "A major work of black American fiction... His best novel yet, even Baldwin's most devoted readers are due to be stunned by it."

- e***n (392)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat transaction, exactly as described, packed well, and promptly shipped on August 6th. Unfortunately the U.S. Postal Service took 23 calendar days to deliver the book. It was shipped from Pennsylvania, to Atlanta, past Alabama to Texas, enjoyed several days in Texas, then to Minneapolis, Jacksonville, Florida, back to Atlanta, finally to Birmingham, and Huntsville. The seller was very responsive and I decided it was interesting to see if/how the book would arrive. Thanks, Joe
- 0***g (380)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaExcellent purchase. Was able to get all three items from the one seller. Seller was able to bundle all three items together into one package. Items as described and arrived in perfect condition. Good communication around shipping and tracking as items delayed and not able to be delivered by original estimate. Thanks to shipping updates I was able to track the items arriving before the extended delivery time. Thank you for making these items available on EBay.
