"The relations among/between artists and writers are extremely important for any full understanding of the process of culture. King and Scott set out to explore in considerable depth one of the most fascinating and understudied connections in African American literature, that between James Baldwin and Toni Morrison. This collection is useful and necessary."--Joseph T. Skerrett, Jr., Director of American Studies, University of Massachusetts, Amherst "James Baldwin and Toni Morrison is a most welcome examination of the connections between two of the most significant authors of the 20th century. The original and often provocative essays contained here shed new light not only on these two great writers but on the cultural and aesthetic fellowship that underlies African-American literature."--David Leeming, author of James Baldwin: A Biography (1994) and secretary/assistant to Baldwin (l964-67) "This new collection maps out and explores the literary relationship between Baldwin and Morrison and sheds new light on each. It also opens up new avenues of discussion on the themes of race, religion, gender and sexuality more generally in African-American culture. This is a useful contribution to Baldwin and Morrison studies and African-American literature more broadly."--Dr. Douglas Field, Lecturer in Contemporary Literature and Culture, Staffordshire University "This collection of diverse essays offers a long over-due exploration of rich thematic connections, narrative consonances, theoretical crosscurrents, and ideological contentions in the two writers who have redefined twentieth-century American letters. It reaffirms the brilliance of Morrison's works while illuminating her indebtedness to Baldwin, and teases out the lessons that she taught him as a black woman writer. Its insights into Baldwin's neglected later works help us to see anew the complex artistic trajectory that has led him to become our black queer ancestor and witness."--Magdalena J. Zaborowska, University of Michigan, "The relations among/between artists and writers are extremely important for any full understanding of the process of culture.

A few days before my purchase, I asked the seller if they could wait for a specific day to ship the item, but they didn't reply until days after I made the purchase. The reply didn't address what I was asking. I was aware that the duration of the shipping is not under their control; I just wanted to try to time it with a specific shipping date. But the item was offered for a good price, and it arrived in decent shape. The packaging was good.
