{"product_id":"james-baldwin-three-book-box-set","title":"James Baldwin Three-Book Box Set","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis handsome box set of three classic James Baldwin novels features cover art by Beauford Delaney, a friend and contemporary of Baldwin — and an influential painter in his own right. Delaney's cheerful yet oddly intense Baldwin portraits are the perfect complement to this box set, which celebrates the centenary of Baldwin's birth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded in this box are\u003cem\u003e Go Tell It on the Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e, \u003cem\u003eGiovanni’s Room\u003c\/em\u003e, and \u003cem\u003eIf Beale Street Could Talk,\u003c\/em\u003e in redesigned softcover editions with new introductions by Roxane Gay, Kevin Young, and Brit Bennett.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1953, \u003cem\u003eGo Tell It on the Mountain\u003c\/em\u003e was James Baldwin’s first major work, based in part on his own childhood. With lyrical precision and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy’s discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefront church in Harlem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eGiovanni’s Room\u003c\/em\u003e is set in the Paris of the 1950s, where a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and conventional morality. One of the first novels to openly explore the theme of homosexuality, it paved the way for generations of gay and lesbian novelists.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnd \u003cem\u003eIf Beale Street Could Talk\u003c\/em\u003e is a stunning love story about a young Black woman whose life is torn apart when her lover is wrongly accused of a crime. It's a profoundly moving novel about love in the face of injustice that is as socially resonant today as it was when it was first published.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vintage Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45449254469890,"sku":"9780593688120","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2228\/7429\/files\/baldwin-3pk-pow2.jpg?v=1724818944","url":"https:\/\/stlartsupply.mom\/en-au\/products\/james-baldwin-three-book-box-set","provider":"St. Louis Art Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
