Sobre El Autor
James Baldwin was born on August 2, 1924, in New York. Baldwin's father was a pastor who subjected his children to poverty, abuse, and religious fanaticism. As a result, many of Baldwin's recurring themes, such as alienation and rejection, are attributable to his upbringing. Living the life of a mostrar más starving artist, Baldwin went through numerous jobs, including dishwasher, office boy, factory worker, and waiter. In 1948, he moved to France, where much work originated. Baldwin published Go Tell It on the Mountain in 1953. A largely autobiographical work, it tells of the religious awakening of a fourteen-year-old. In addition to his childhood experiences, his experiences as a black man and a homosexual provided inspiration for such works as Giovanni's Room, Nobody Knows My Name, and Another Country. Baldwin holds a distinguished place in American history as one of the foremost writers of both black and gay literature. He was an active participant in the Civil Rights movement. Baldwin succumbed to cancer on December 1, 1987. (Bowker Author Biography) mostrar menos

A través del relato de Tish recorremos la historia de amor de esta pareja afroamericana a la vez que asistimos al intento desesperado de la familia por liberar a Fonny de la cárcel y demostrar su inocencia, en una lucha contra la hostilidad y la injusticia de un sistema racista y corrupto.
Publicada por primera vez en 1974, la violencia y la sensualidad de la novela de Baldwin siguen golpeando y conmoviendo conciencias con la cadencia triste y pasional del blues más sentido, avivado en estas páginas por el amor más puro y el afán de supervivencia de unos seres marginados por el color de su piel y por su pobreza.… (más)
