Nobody Knows My Name By James Baldwin

From one of the most brilliant writers and thinkers of the twentieth century comes a collection of “passionate, probing, controversial” essays ( The Atlantic ) on topics ranging from race relations in the United States to the role of the writer in society.

Told with Baldwin’s characteristically unflinching honesty, this “splendid book” ( The New York Times ) offers illuminating, deeply felt essays along with personal accounts of Richard Wright, Norman Mailer and other writers.
