If Beale Street Could Talk

Baldwin, James

MC1015 The Dial Press New York, NY, U.S.A. 1974 First Printing Ex-Library Hard Cover Good Orange cloth on boards. 197 pgs. Volume is ex-library, with the usual, stamps, marks and labels. The fep has residue from pocket (?) and a blank nameplate. "Like the blues--sweet, sad, and full of truth--this masterful work of fiction rocks us with powerful emotions. In it are anger and pain, but above all, love--the affirmative love of a woman for her man, the sustaining love of the black family. Fonny, a talented young artist, finds himself unjustly arrested and locked in New York's infamous Tombs. But his girlfriend, Tish, is determined to free him, and to have his baby, in this starkly realistic tale... a powerful indictment of American concepts of justice and punishment in our time." $10.00USD
