James Baldwin, an Original by Gloria SteinemMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
Apparently an article written for Vogue in 1964, this is an interesting overview of James Baldwin. it is part character study part biography and career retrospective. It finds him looking back on a career of essayist and accidental spokesperson for Black Americans while striving to meet his personal goals as a novelist and prove worthy of the support and encouragement given early by Richard Wright.
