Collected Essays

Baldwin's honesty and smarts on full display here. Can be exhaustingly verbose at times, but everything I read in here was worth it. His analyses of America are absolutely cutting and struck a chord in me that I wasn't even really aware of.

I would like to make it known that the notes(they're not even footnotes, which I guess is a Library of America thing) for this edition are honestly not great, which is surprising, as it was edited by Toni Morrison. Not sure what happened there.
