Résumé

Harlem, the black soul of New York City, in the era of Aretha Franklin and Pay Charles. The narrator of James Baldwin 's novel is Tish, nineteen, and pregnant. Her lover Fonny, father of her child, is in jail accused of rape. Flashbacks from their love affair are woven into the compelling struggle of two families to win justice for Fanny. To this love story Baldwin brings a spare and impassioned intensify, charging it with universal resonance and power.

A propos de James Baldwin

James Baldwin was born in Harlem in 1924. A novelist, essayist, playwright, poet and social critic, he became an influential figure in the Civil Rights movement. His debut novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, was published in 1953 and his first book of non-fiction, Notes of a Native Son, appeared two years later. If Beale Street Could Talk is his fifth novel. Baldwin spent many years in France — where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States — and died in Saint-Paul-de-Vence in 1987.
