'Let our novelists read Mr Baldwin and tremble. There is a whirlwind loose in the land'Sunday Times
When Another Country appeared in 1962,it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin's masterly story of desire,hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott,a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive,bad and brilliant,he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat,music and sex,where desperate and dangerous characters betray,love and test each other to the limit.
