nobody knows my name: more notes of a native son
first british edition, 1964.
“james baldwin is a skillful writer, a man of fine intelligence and a true companion in the desire to make life human. to take a cue from his title, we had better learn his name.” —irving howe, the new york times
building on the themes of his earlier work "notes of a native son," this collection features revised essays alongside new material, offering baldwin's incisive commentary on race, identity, and the role of the writer in society. with unflinching honesty baldwin explores american race relations, personal reflections on writers like richard wright and norman mailer, and the broader cultural landscape of the 20th century.
