Reviews

“Baldwin authority Zaborowska’s gracefully impassioned biography of the queer author and activist’s life and legacy. . . . A creatively conceived appreciation for a decorated life and its far-flung influences on race, queer culture, and art.”—Kirkus Reviews “Written with élan by a leading scholar on the life and work of James Baldwin, Zaborowska’s fresh study is a gripping portrait of one of the twentieth century’s most insightful writers.”—Douglas Field, author of Walking in the Dark “Zaborowska not only produces one of the richest pictures of James Baldwin’s personal and professional lives ever written, but also, she boldly dives into the debates surrounding the ways that images of James (Jimmy) continue to be both used—and abused.”—Robert F. Reid-Pharr, New York University
