At once a powerful evocation of his early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice to both the individual and the body politic, James Baldwin galvanized the nation in the early days of the civil rights movement with this eloquent manifesto. The Fire Next Time stands as one of the essential works of our literature.

What did you love best about The Fire Next Time?
Baldwin's accurate description of the US, his vulnerability and understanding of the world. He's able to succinctly and clearly communicate his ideas. Many writers lack this.
What was one of the most memorable moments of The Fire Next Time?
Baldwin's analysis of religion. On a grand scale as well as his take on the nexus of Christianity and the African American experience.
What about Jesse L. Martin’s performance did you like?
His performance did not get in the way. It may have subtly enhanced the message.
What’s the most interesting tidbit you’ve picked up from this book?
Many people have the intelligence to question things. Few people have the courage to question taboo areas such as religion. Baldwin had both, in a time that was not conducive his positions. To arrive, he underwent a spiritual journey in the truest sense.
