Mr. Baldwin is best known for his books Go Tell It on the Mountain and The Fire Next Time. In this novel, he traces 30 years of a group of friends that first preached and sang at Harlem churches. Over those years, the friends survive, or not, incest, poverty, the civil rights movement, fame and wealth.
