First time reading Baldwin and enjoyed it alot. there's I feel alot there that I missed so I will go back and reread later on to see what more I can pick up. I would recommend this to anyone who might want to learn about the author. One line that stuck out to me was " The very bad and its sweet disorder testifies to the vileness" " Confusion is a luxury which only the very, very young can possibly afford."and " faint heart never won fair athlete"
