A review by lynecia
Another Country by James Baldwin

3.0

A cornucopia of themes, (love, the price of love...) character development (a group of friends are on a journey of self discovery in 1950s? (60s?) New York) and commentary (race, sexuality, gender...)but not much plot. That is fine with me, but I slogged through this one. A reading slump ensued and It took me a month to get through it, which I'll admit detracted from my overall reading experience. As a reader, I feel like I'm either only walking around the periphery of what Baldwin was trying to accomplish here, (and I do feel like I want to re-read) or I just didn't like it as much as I wanted, which disappoints me because my love for Uncle Jimmy is so great.
