Another Country

Beautifully written, but pretty dang depressing. Basically everyone cheats on everyone, love is fleeting, race relations are incredibly tense, and life sucks... but Baldwin is a fantastic writer of one's consciousness, it's easy to get swept up in this sensuous writing.
Favorite quote that really resonated, exploring paradoxes of the intimacy you can feel with strangers and the strangeness you can feel with the one you love:
“But the face of a lover is unknown precisely because it is invested with so much of oneself. It is a mystery, containing like all mysteries, the possibility of torment.”
