It was written over the last six years, in various places, and in many states of mind." It records the last months of a major American writer's long self-exile in Europe, his return to America and to Harlem, and his first trip South at the time when the school integration battle was exploding. It contains, too, Mr. Baldwin's controversial profiles of Norman Mailer, Richard Wright, and Ingmar Bergman, as well as his vigorous attack on Faulkner's defense of the old South, his portrait of Harlem which brought cries of outrage from those within Harlem and those without, and his essay prompted by the riot at the United Nations the day after Lumumba's murder -- "a very small echo of the black discontent now abroad in the world." "The question of color takes up much space in these pages," Mr. Baldwin writes, and many themes weave through "Nobody Knows My Name" -- the relations between blacks and whites, the role of the Negro in America and in Europe, the facing of truths about oneself and others, the question of sexual identity, and other themes the reader will discover for himself. And though the subjects Mr. Baldwin treats range wide, the entire book is informed by Mr. Baldwin's passion, his sense of controversy, and his instinct for truth -- no matter who may be made uncomfortable by it. In the six years since the appearance of his book of essays, "Notes of a Native Son," James Baldwin has, through the reception of "Giovanni's Room" and the magazine publication of his essays, established himself beyond doubt as one of the leading writers of his time. "Nobody Knows My Name" further enhances that reputation. First Edition 1961 Very Good Hard Cover 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall Red/Black Paper-Covered Boards

Baldwin, James: Nobody Knows My Name, Dell December 1963
0-44036-4353\nNew York Times Book Review, 11/2/61\n"I have only one complaint to register against 'Nobody Knows My Name'. Partly because his work relies so heavily on a continuous scrutiny of his own responses, Baldwin succumbs at times to what Thorstein Veblen might have called the pose of conspicuous sincerity. In the essays on Wright and especiallly in a piece on Norman Mailer, the effort to expose the whole of his feelings slips occasionally into a mere attitude...These are small blemishes on a splendid book. James Baldwin is a skillful writer, a man of fine intelligence and a true companion in the desire to make life human." -- Irving Howe
