SINOPSE
Never before available, the unexpurgated last interview with James Baldwin
"I was not born to be what someone said I was. I was not born to be defined by someone else, but by myself, and myself only." When, in the fall of 1987, the poet Quincy Troupe traveled to the south of France to interview James Baldwin, Baldwin’s brother David told him to ask Baldwin about everything—Baldwin was critically ill and David knew that this might be the writer’s last chance to speak at length about his life and work.
The result is one of the most eloquent and revelatory interviews of Baldwin’s career, a conversation that ranges widely over such topics as his childhood in Harlem, his close friendship with Miles Davis, his relationship with writers like Toni Morrison and Richard Wright, his years in France, and his ever-incisive thoughts on the history of race relations and the African-American experience.
Also collected here are significant interviews from other moments in Baldwin’s life, including an in-depth interview conducted by Studs Terkel shortly after the publication of Nobody Knows My Name. These interviews showcase, above all, Baldwin’s fearlessness and integrity as a writer, thinker, and individual, as well as the profound struggles he faced along the way.

SOBRE O AUTOR
James Baldwin
James Baldwin nasceu em Nova Iorque, em 1924, no bairro do Harlem, onde cresceu e estudou. Partiu para Paris em 1948, fugindo ao racismo e à homofobia que grassavam no seu país. Viveu nessa cidade quase uma década, envolvendo-se politicamente com movimentos de esquerda, convivendo com artistas europeus e americanos, e dedicando-se à escrita. Destacou-se desde cedo como romancista, ensaísta, poeta e dramaturgo.
A par da atividade literária, notabilizou-se como uma das vozes mais influentes do Movimento dos Direitos Civis e dos movimentos de libertação homossexual. Foi, aliás, o primeiro artista afro-americano a figurar na capa da revista Time. Em 1953, publicou o primeiro romance, recebido entusiasticamente pela crítica. Sendo uma das mais icónicas figuras do século XX, foi publicado pela primeira vez em Portugal apenas no ano de 2018, na Alfaguara, que já deu à estampa os romances Se esta rua falasse, Se o disseres na montanha, O quarto de Giovanni, Um outro país, Diz-me há quanto tempo partiu o comboio, bem como os volumes de ensaios Da próxima vez, o fogo e Notas de um filho da terra. James Baldwin morreu em 1987, no Sul de França, um ano depois de ter sido nomeado Cavaleiro da Legião de Honra Francesa.
