Reviews"With vivid imagery, with lavish attention to details, Mr. Baldwin has told his feverish story." -- The New York Times   "Brutal, objective and compassionate." -- San Francisco Chronicle   "It is written with poetic intensity and great narrative skill." -- Harper's   "Strong and powerful." -- Commonweal   "A sense of reality and vitality that is truly extraordinary. . . . He knows Harlem, his people, and the language they use." -- Chicago Sun-Times   "This is a distinctive book, both realistic and brutal, but a novel of extraordinary sensitivity and poetry." -- Chicago Sunday Tribune
Dewey Decimal813/.54
SynopsisJames Baldwin's stunning first novel is now an  American classic. With startling realism that brings  Harlem and the black experience vividly to life,  this is a work that touches the heart with emotion  while it stimulates the mind with its narrative  style, symbolism, and excoriating vision of racism  in America. Moving through time from the rural  South to the northern ghetto, starkly contrasting the  attitudes of two generations of an embattles  family, Go Tell It On The Mountain   is an unsurpassed portrayal of human beings caught  up in a dramatic struggle and of a society  confronting inevitable change. "The most important  novel written about the American Negro,"  says Commentary . "It is written  with poetic intensity and great narrative skill,"  writes Harper's .   Saturday Review praises it as "masterful,"  and the San Francisco Chronicle   declares that this important American novel is  "brutal, objective and compassionate."
