Il 2 agosto 1924 ad Harlem, New York nasce James Baldwin

Quasi nessun altro scrittore del XX secolo ha scritto in modo così acuto e senza compromessi sul razzismo, il potere e l’identità negli Stati Uniti.

Nell'immagine:
«Le persone si aggrappano con tanta ostinazione al proprio odio, per non dover affrontare il proprio dolore.»

Molto interessante e ricco di informazioni tutto il thread

Talent is insignificant. I know a lot of talented ruins. Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck, but most of all, endurance.

"Gridalo forte" di James Baldwin, 300 pagine, Fandango Libri, edizione 2024.

#GridaloForte di #JamesBaldwin

Le prime pagine non mi avevano preso, poi piano piano mi ha conquistato.
Una storia familiare fatta di dolore, violenza, espiazione cercando salvezza e riscatto.
