James Baldwin

It’s 100 years and 6 days since James Baldwin’s birth. As you can tell, I missed the actual day…
What an interesting and influential man he was. The Baldwin book I like most is If Beale Street Could Talk, not only a great read but a sublime film by Barry Jenkins.

Penguin Random House has a good podcast available if you’re interested:

I picked up these bookmarks during a fleeting visit to Kettle’s Yard on Tuesday.
