The story of the friendship between writer Baldwin and editor Stein, a relationship that inspired the writing of Notes of a Native Son, describes the early days of their life-long companionship in their North Bronx high school and their shared literary endeavors, in a volume complemented by a short story and play. Reprint. 15,000 first printing.
James Baldwin was beginning to be recognized as the most brilliant black writer of his generation when his first book of essays, "Notes of a Native Son," established his reputation in 1955. No one was more pleased by the book's reception than Baldwin's high school friend Sol Stein. A rising New York editor, novelist, and playwright, Stein had suggested that Baldwin do the book and coaxed his old friend through the long and sometimes agonizing process of putting the volume together and seeing it into print. Now, in this fascinating new book, Sol Stein documents the story of his intense creative partnership with Baldwin through newly uncovered letters, photos, inscriptions, and an illuminating memoir of the friendship that resulted in one of the classics of American literature. Included in this book are the two works they created together-the story "Dark Runner" and the play "Equal in Paris, both published here for the first time.
Though a world of difference separated them-Baldwin was black and gay, living in self-imposed exile in Europe; Stein was Jewish and married, with a growing family to support-the two men shared the same fundamental passion. Nothing mattered more to either of them than telling and writing the truth, which was not always welcome. As Stein wrote Baldwin in a long, heartfelt letter, "You are the only friend with whom I feel comfortable about all three: heart, head, and writing." In this extraordinary book, Stein unfolds how that shared passion played out in the months surrounding the creation and publication of Baldwin's "Notes of a Native Son, in which Baldwin's main themes are illuminated.
A literary event published to honor the eightieth anniversary ofJames Baldwin's birth, "Native Sons is a celebration of one of the most fruitful and influential friendships in American letters.
