| 5. |  | Giovanni's Room from Delta Price: $11.20 Customer Review:  No assistance or convincing is required for one to acknowledge that Baldwin is indeed a very gifted writer.

Originally published in national magazines between 1954 and 1961, these essays are more mature, if less biting, than his first collection--and they are certainly just as... |

It was written while Elijah Muhammad was still alive, so some of the seedier details of the story of their split are left out, probably out of a fear of villifying the NOI. The script that was eventually used for Spike Lee's film... |
