Story3
Drawing on James Baldwin's own boyhood in a religious community in 1930s Harlem, his first novel tells the story of young Johnny Grimes. Johnny is destined to become a preacher like his father, Gabriel, at the Temple of the Fire Baptized, where the church swells with song and it is as if 'the Holy Ghost were riding on the air'. But he feels only scalding hatred for Gabriel, whose fear and fanaticism lead him to abuse his family. Johnny vows that, for him, things will be different. This blazing tale is full of passion and guilt, of secret sinners and prayers singing on the wind.

Story1
When Another Country appeared in 1962, it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit.

Warum hat Rufus Scott - ein begnadeter schwarzer Schlagzeuger aus Harlem - sich das Leben genommen? Wegen seiner Amour fou mit der weißen Leona, einer Liebe, die nicht sein durfte? Verzweifelt sucht Rufus' Schwester Ida nach einer Erklärung. Aber sie findet nur Wahrheiten, die neue Wunden schlagen - auch Wahrheiten über sich selbst.

Im Paris der Fünfziger lernt David den reizend überheblichen, löwenhaften Giovanni kennen. Die beiden beginnen eine Affäre - Verlangen und auch Scham brechen in David los wie ein Sturm. Als plötzlich seine Verlobte zurückkehrt, bringt David nicht den Mut auf, sich zu outen. Im Glauben, sich durch Verleugnung selbst retten zu können, stürzt er Giovanni in ein Unglück, das tödlich endet. Mit "Giovannis Zimmer" brach Baldwin gleich zwei Tabus: Als schwarzer Schriftsteller schrieb er über die Liebe zwischen zwei weißen Männern.
