Another country by james baldwin summary2/11/2023 ![]() ![]() What other book might you compare Another Country to and why? The freshness of his prose was like jazz to me ears. He was ahead of his time and hos book is still relevant with its discussions on race, sex, and identity. It felt like Baldwin was speaking directly to me. Where does Another Country rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?Īnother Country ranks as the best James Baldwin audiobook I have listened to so far. Tragic, beautifully tragic with a touch of hope ![]() It is a group of people who are completely without inhibitions, but still have rules to follow. You feel empathy for some of the most heinous moments. This book perfectly explains how people go through love and pain and just getting along. ![]() All the emotions and thoughts and feelings are described so artfully and so exactly that the reader has no doubts or questions about what is happening. It is so detailed and so descriptive, but it’s never stale. I want to say beautifully written, but that’s not quite it either. And the drama is not so heavy that it feels cumbersome and ugly. They sometimes are ugly, but it’s not a book filled with ugly people. It’s filled with people who are wretched. This review is difficult to write because it’s difficult to put into a box. ![]()
