Description : This haunting coming-of-age story, based in part on James Baldwin s childhood in Harlem, is an American classic. Originally published in 1953, "Go Tell It on the Mountain"was Baldwin s first major work. With a potent combination of lyrical compassion and resonant rage, he portrays a fourteen-year-old boy questioning the terms of his identity. John Grimes is the stepson of a fire-breathing and abusive Pentecostal preacher in Harlem during the Depression. The action of this short novel spans a single day in John s life, and yet manages to encompass on an epic scale his family s troubled past and his own inchoate longings for the future, set against a shining vision of a city where he both does and does not belong. Baldwin s story illuminates the racism his characters face as well as the double-edged role religion plays in their lives, both oppressive and inspirational. In prose that mingles gritty vernacular cadences with exalted biblical rhythms, Baldwin s rendering of his young protagonist s struggle to invent himself pioneered new possibilities in American language and literature.
