Go Tell it on the Mountain by James Baldwin
Tuesday, May 14th at 7.30pm
On the day of young Johnny Grimes' birthday, he and members of his family - including his mother, aunt and tyrannical stepfather - contemplate the meaning of their lives within the Harlem's complex religious culture. Baldwin's passionate, tumultuous debut novel is an unforgettable mixture of violence and tenderness, anger and affirmation, sacredness and sensuality, which instantly established its author as an essential voice in American fiction.
