At this meeting we will be discussing Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin. Copies of the book will be available in the Reference Room at least one month before the meeting. Librarians will gladly assist you in locating a large print, downloadable, or audio version. 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. Registration is not required, but you may register if you'd like a email reminders before the meeting. Questions?
