- **Event Description**: Please join us on Thursday, February 12th at 7pm for February's Memoir/Nonfiction Book Club, where we will be discussing "The Fire Next Time" by James Baldwin in honor of Black History Month.

James Baldwin was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, social critic, and His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and an influential figure in the growing civil rights movement. Baldwin spent much of his life in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States. He died in France in 1987, a year after being made a Commander of the French Legion of Honor.

A national bestseller when it first appeared in 1963, The Fire Next Time galvanized the nation and gave passionate voice to the emerging civil rights movement. At once a powerful evocation of James Baldwin's early life in Harlem and a disturbing examination of the consequences of racial injustice, the book is an intensely personal and provocative document. It consists of two "letters," written on the occasion of the centennial of the Emancipation Proclamation, that exhort Americans, both black and white, to attack the terrible legacy of racism. Described by The New York Times Book Review as "sermon, ultimatum, confession, deposition, testament, and chronicle...all presented in searing, brilliant prose," The Fire Next Time stands as a classic of our literature.
