If Beale Street Could Talk affirms not only love between a man and a woman, but love of a type that is dealt with only rarely in contemporary fiction - that between members of a family -- Joyce Carol Oates Soulful . . . Racial injustice may flatten "the black experience" into one single, fearful, constantly undermined way of life-but black life, black love, is so much larger than that . . . It's one of the signature lessons of Baldwin's work that blackness contains multitudes * Vanity Fair * Truth-telling, witness bearing, soul stirring writing -- Cornel West The spirit of Jimmy's work is of a high moral prophetic vision -- Amriri Baraka One of the few essential novelists of our time * New Statesman *
