Go Tell It on the Mountain (Vintage International)

â€œ<i>Mountain</i>,â€ Baldwin said, â€œis the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else.â€Â <i>Go Tell It on the Mountain</i>, originally published in 1953, is Baldwinâ€™s first major work, a novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boyâ€™s discovery one Saturday in March of 1935Â of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a Pentecostal storefrontÂ church in Harlem. Baldwinâ€™s rendering of his protagonistâ€™s spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle toward self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves.
