    I spent Thursday, at different points, thinking about James Baldwin and Sarah Jeong (and Dolly Parton). Here’s Baldwin, in a story about Norman Mailer, that originally was published in Esquire in 1961.pic.twitter.com/a3zDGABqrM

        It’s beautiful and a blessing to all of us that such a person lived. At least once a month, though, I get sad when I think about the fact that I didn’t have the opportunity to meet him before he died.

        “Going to Meet the Man” - heartbreaking brilliance. I have my students read it silently all together in class. Their fresh, collective awe never fails to renew my hope in the human endeavor.

        "Giovanni's Room" shook me to my core. I'd never read him, had heard of him, yes, but that book changed me on a quantum level.

        I think Baldwin’s piece on Mailer one of the best ever written. He captured Mailer’s ego-essence as only Mailer himself could have done.

        I think you insult the memory of James Baldwin, a courageous & exceptional writer, who happened to be black & gay in mid century America. So tell us how @SarahJeong gets to “appropriate” his pain? Or the pain of the Chinese Exclusion Act or of Japanese Internment. She is Korean.

        How dare you, to create a parallel between an article 57yrs old, that gave insight into the struggle that faces blacks, to this racist witch. Shame on you.

        what a beautiful voice (written and spoken) Baldwin had. He imagined love out of pain and fury.
