James Baldwin's Nobody Knows My Name records the last months of this famed American writer's ten-year self-exile in Europe, his return to America and to Harlem, and his first trip south at the time of the school integration battles. It contains Baldwin's controversial and intimate profiles of Norman Mailer, Richard Wright, and Ingmar Bergman. And it explores such varied themes as the relations between blacks and whites, the role of blacks in America and in Europe, and the question of sexual identity.

      Despite having been written over half a century ago, this remains an incredibly relevant work. And narrator Kevin Kenerly does an outstanding job bringing just the right tone to a book that could have, in lesser hands (or voice, as the case may be), come across as strident or lecturing. Instead, Kenerly expertly conveys Baldwin's struggle to understand the times in which he was living, his self-imposed exile abroad, subsequent decision to return home--and then venture into the South. The series of essays in this audiobook sheds light on the thinking of one of this country's preeminent intellects. Baldwin could not have asked for his words to be delivered by someone better than Kevin Kenerly. J.P.S. © AudioFile 2018, Portland, Maine
