So hard to read this AFTER “We were Eight Years in Power” and still Baldwin, such a good writer. (I asked my book club how they felt “Between the World and Me” fit in the traditions of black writing like Baldwin and they were kinda “Meh?” but now I feel like I should #blackoutreading the whole dang year. )
