SUMMARY:Big Books: Go Tell It on the Mountain by James Baldwin
DESCRIPTION:James Baldwin's Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953) is a 
 semi-autobiographical novel centered on fourteen-year-old John Grimes\, 
 growing up in 1930s Harlem within a Black Pentecostal community. Set 
 largely over the course of John's fourteenth birthday and culminating in a 
 long night of prayer at his family's storefront church\, the novel unfolds 
 through extended flashbacks that reveal the histories of his stern\, 
 preacher stepfather Gabriel\, his mother Elizabeth\, and his aunt 
 Florence—each shaped by the trauma\, migration\, and racism of the 
 post-slavery South. Through these interwoven perspectives\, Baldwin 
 explores themes of religious ecstasy and hypocrisy\, generational 
 conflict\, sexuality\, and the search for identity and salvation\, as John 
 struggles to reconcile his own emerging selfhood with his family's 
 demanding faith and painful past. The novel is celebrated for its lyrical\, 
 sermon-like prose and its unflinching portrayal of how history and personal 
 suffering shape religious conviction. The novel is generally regarded as 
 Baldwin's best novel and one of the great African-American novels of the 
 20th Century.\n\nDiscussions will be led by Holly Marihugh. Registration is 
 required.\n
