Colm Toibin's personal account of encountering James Baldwin's work, published in Baldwin's centenary year.Acclaimed Irish novelist Colm Toibin first read James Baldwin just after turning eighteen. He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing.

Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Toibin found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar.
