Some such voices may grow fainter with the passage of time, but Baldwin remains an inescapable presence, not only a chronicler of his epoch but a thinker who helped shape it. One of the great modern prose stylists, he applied his passion, wit, and relentlessly probing intelligence to the fault lines and false fronts of American society while remaining true to his early credo: \"One writes out of one thing only--one's own experience. Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eTHE JAMES BALDWIN COLLECTION\u003c\/b\u003e includes: \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eCollected Essays (LOA #98)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNotes of a Native Son\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNobody Knows My Name\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Fire Next Time\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eNo Name in the Street\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Devil Finds Work\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eother essays \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eEarly Novels \u0026amp; Stories (LOA #97)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGo Tell It on the Mountain\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGiovanni's Room\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAnother Country\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eGoing to Meet the Man\u003c\/i\u003e (including \"Sonny's Blues\") \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eLater Novels (LOA #272)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eTell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIf Beale Street Could Talk\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eJust Above My Head\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEdited by Toni Morrison (#97 \u0026amp; 98) and Darrly Pinckney (#272), each volume contains a textual essay, a chronology of Baldwin's life and career, and detailed notes.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJames Baldwin\u003c\/b\u003e (1924-1987) was one of the most powerful and prophetic writers of the last century, the literary voice of the Civil Rights era.
