James Campbell is the author of This Is the Beat Generation: New York, San Francisco, Paris (California, 2001), Exiled in Paris: Richard Wright, James Baldwin, Samuel Beckett and Others on the Left Bank (1995), and Invisible Country: A Journey through Scotland (1990). He works for the Times Literary Supplement.
"James Campbell has ably blended both scholarship and personal
recollection."
*New York Times Book Review*
"Must reading for anyone interested in James Baldwin."
*Washington Post Book World*
"Frank and affectionate. . . . Approaching Baldwin without
reverence, though not quite irreverently, Campbell brings a mixture
of intellectual integrity and something like truculence to the
biographer's task."
*Times Literary Supplement*
"Campbell has met the challenge and written a first-rate work. The
best biography so far. . . . He deals not only with the facts of
his subject's life but also with his works."
*Chicago Tribune*
"A life-sized portrait in very broad strokes. . . . . A lively book
that is immensely readable, serious, careful, and informed."
*Boston Sunday Globe*
"A marvelously illuminating literary biography . . . . [and]
an affectionate yet critical portrait."
*Publishers Weekly*
