“If one can live with one's own pain then one respects the pain of others, and so, briefly, but transcendentally, we can release each other from pain.”

Baldwin’s fourth novel—a tale of struggle in a black working class neighbourhood, of the experience of daily racism from bigots and white liberals alike and of how a man fights his way through life, exploitation and oppression.
