Just Above My Head A Novel

Description: James Baldwin's final novel is the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers (The New York Times Book Review). Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication one begins again. The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this stunning unforgettable novel. Here in a monumental saga of love and rage James Baldwin goes back to Harlem to the church of his groundbreaking novel Go Tell It on the Mountain to the forbidden passion of Giovanni's Room and to the political fire that enflames his nonfiction work. Here too the story of gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land.
