If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one
Michael Ondaatje
Baldwin writes of these matters with unusual candour and yet with such dignity and intensity
The New York Times
Audacious... remarkable... elegant and courageous
Caryl Phillips
Baldwin, in this novel, made clear that he could work wonders with the light and shade of intimacy
Colm Tóibín, The New Yorker
Startling... This is Mr. Baldwin's subject, the rareness and difficulty of love
Granville Hicks
