James Baldwin

First Edition

Baldwin, James. Just Above My Head. New York: The Dial Press, 1979. Advance reading copy, First Edition. 597 pages, 9" x 6." Maroon soft cover wraps. Just Above My Head was Baldwin's sixth and last work. It follows a group of friends throughout their lives, documenting their intertwining experiences of poverty, incest, the civil rights struggle, war, and fame. Homophobia and racism loom in this sprawling novel that The Washington Post called "the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers." Clean and bright pages, in very good condition.
