The Fire Next Time; Nobody Knows My Name ; No Name In The Street; The Devil Finds Work

  • James Baldwin


A major hardcover compendium of nonfiction by one of America's most
brilliant essayists, timed to the celebration of his centenary

Novelist, essayist, and public intellectual - James Baldwin is widely regarded as
one of the greatest writers of the twentieth century. This Everyman's Library
collection includes his bestselling, galvanizing essay The Fire Next
Time—which gave voice to the emerging civil rights movement of the 1960s
and still lights the way to understanding race in America today—along with
three additional brilliant works of nonfiction by this seminal chronicler and
analyst of culture. From No Name In the Street's extraordinary history of the
turbulent sixties and early seventies to the "passionate, probing, controversial"
(The Atlantic) Nobody Knows My Name and the incisive criticism of American
movies in The Devil Finds Work, Baldwin's stunning prose over and over proves
relevant to our contemporary struggle for equality, justice, and social change.

Praise for The Fire Next Time; Nobody Knows My Name ; No Name In The Street; The Devil Finds Work

The Fire Next Time is the finest essay I’ve ever read.

Ta-Nehisi Coates

Sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle . . . all presented in searing, brilliant prose.

The New York Times

In The Devil Finds Work he has taken the old subject of race and made it even more personal, probing perhaps more deeply than ever before into American racial practices
