Über diesen Titel

Críticas:

"One of the best books Baldwin has ever written-perhaps the best of all." -The Philadelphia Inquirer

"A moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless."-Joyce Carol Oates

"If Van Gogh was our nineteenth-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our twentiethth-century one." -Michael Ondaatje

"Striking and particularly haunting. . . . A beauty, especially in its rendering of youthful passion." -Cosmopolitan

"A major work of black American fiction... His best novel yet, even Baldwin's most devoted readers are due to be stunned by it."-The New Republic

"Emotional dynamite... a powerful assault upon the cynicism that seems today to drain our determination to confront deep social problems."-Library Journal

"A moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless."

-The New York Times Book Review
