In this tender, impassioned fourth novel, James Baldwin created one
of his most striking characters: a man struggling to become
himself. 'Everyone wishes to be loved, but in the event, nearly no
one can bear it' At the height of his theatrical career, the actor
Leo Proudhammer is nearly felled by a heart attack. As he hovers
between life and death, we see the choices that have made him
enviably famous and terrifyingly vulnerable. For between Leo's
childhood on the streets of Harlem and his arrival into the world
of the theatre lies a wilderness of desire and loss, shame and
rage. And everywhere there is the anguish of being black in a
society that seems poised on the brink of racial war. In this
tender, angry 1968 novel, James Baldwin created one of his most
striking characters: a man struggling to become himself. 'The
emotion surrounding family attachment... is deeply felt and is one
reasons he continues to be read with such intensity' Colm Toibin
