No American writer became more famous in the decades after World War II than James Baldwin; by the time his picture appeared on the cover of Time magazine in May of 1963, his novels and books of essays had been read and reviewed everywhere, and he had been interviewed endlessly, both about his writing and about his country’s racial problems. No writer, however, shows more clearly the dangers of such fame to his art. James Campbell’s biography captures both the power of Baldwin’s writing and the tragedy of his literary life.
