Résumé
What does it take to become the voice of a generation? Sometimes, you have to leave home to find it. In 1948, James Baldwin fled America-broke, unknown, and suffocating under the weight of racism and repression. He arrived in Paris with forty dollars and a dream: to write the truth about what it meant to be Black, queer, and American in the twentieth century. The Paris Years chronicles the transformative decade when Baldwin evolved from a struggling expatriate into one of the most important writers in American history.
In the cafés of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, in a remote Swiss village, and in the arms of forbidden love, he wrote Go Tell It on the Mountain and the groundbreaking Giovanni's Room-novels that shattered conventions and told truths America wasn't ready to hear. This is the story of an artist finding his voice in exile, wrestling with literary fathers, daring to love openly, and preparing to return home as a prophet.
Through meticulous research and vivid storytelling, David G. Stone reveals how Baldwin's years abroad gave him the clarity and courage to hold up a mirror to America-and change it forever. For readers of literary biography, Civil Rights history, and anyone seeking to understand how art transforms both the artist and the world.
