The nonfiction of James Baldwin and both authors' character-driven novels share a compelling style that absorbs the reader in themes of personal perspective and social justice, especially on African American issues. Their haunting messages are conveyed by often lyrical, sometimes gritty, passages woven into stylistically complex stories. -- Matthew Ransom
Often set in New York or France, these authors' novels focus on the lives of African American (both) and African Caribbean (McKay) men facing racism and restlessly searching for a sense of belonging. Baldwin's characters are frequently artists or intellectuals, while McKay focuses on working classes. -- Michael Shumate
Both authors write moving and stylistically complex literary fiction that explores the intersection of Black and LGBTQIA identity. James Baldwin is also known for his nonfiction; Bryan Washington primarily writes fiction. -- CJ Connor

Library Journal Review
Concurrent with the 75th anniversary of author/activist Baldwin's birth is this first-ever audio release of his 1962 novel depicting life in New York and France and exploring the era's racial, gender, and sexual taboos. Audie Award winner Dion Graham (River Rising) smoothly conveys the power and rhythm of Baldwin's prose. Highly recommended for readers/listeners of American and African American classics. [Audio clip available through www.bbcaudiobooksamerica.com; Baldwin's 1963 essay collection, The Fire Next Time, is also available from Sound Library, with Jesse L. Martin reading.-Ed.]-Gwendolyn Osborne, Evanston, IL (c) Copyright 2010. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc. No redistribution permitted.
