“I was attracted to Baldwin’s voice as an essayist and in his first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain. When I started to read the later novels like Tell Me How Long the Train’s Been Gone or Just Above My Head, I could see something had that gone astray – not only in his voice but he was using fiction as a kind of polemic... I felt that he had sacrificed a lot of the integrity, grit, and solitude to be of service to the movement. He is a good example of why it’s important to step away and have those private moments to one’s self. Easy for me to say because he was living at a time when his voice was absolutely crucial to the struggle but it didn’t serve him as a writer”⠀
