Editor’s note One of the great American writers on race, sexuality and identity, in essays as much as fiction, and every book of his here rates highly. The Fire Next Time, two essays on being Black in America, is his best rated and a short way in. Giovanni’s Room, about an American man in Paris torn over his love for an Italian bartender, is the most read of the novels. Notes of a Native Son collects his early essays.
