Description

Occur Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, among other locales, A Different Country is just a novel of passions--sexual, racial, political, artistic--that's spectacular because of its psychological depth and haunting sensuality, showing men and women, blacks and whites, stripped of the masks of gender and race by love and hate in the most important and elegant. In a little group of friends, Baldwin imbues the worst and very best motives of liberal America in the first 1970s.
