Story25
Telly D. Young wasn't born like other children. He entered the world without a cry, without a fever, without a scar to mark him. And before long, his parents discovered the impossible: with one touch, their son could mend Flesh, erase pain, even call life back from the edge. His parents swore to protect him in the hush of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Story34
Drawing on James Baldwin's own boyhood in a religious community in 1930s Harlem, his first novel tells the story of young Johnny Grimes. Johnny is destined to become a preacher like his father, Gabriel, at the Temple of the Fire Baptized, where the church swells with song and it is as if 'the Holy Ghost were riding on the air'. But he feels only scalding hatred for Gabriel, whose fear and fanaticism lead him to abuse his family. Johnny vows that, for him, things will be different. This blazing tale is full of passion and guilt, of secret sinners and prayers singing on the wind.

Story35
When Another Country appeared in 1962, it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love and test each other to the limit.

Years ago, Derrick Holloway was dying. Then his best friend, Telly D. Young, pressed a hand to his chest, and everything changed. Derrick lived & from that moment on, he became the boy who wouldn’t break. They say Derrick Holloway can’t be killed. What they don’t say… is what it’s cost him. In the small town of Alder Bend, Telly vanished without a word; Derrick was left behind with a dog, a cabin, and a silence that stretched for years. And, Derrick’s no longer that boy. He’s a Navy SEAL. He’s a soldier who’s survived every bullet, every mission, and the nightmare.

Harlem, Anfang der 70er-Jahre: Tish und Fonny sind ein Paar. Ihren zerrütteten Familien setzen sie trotzige Hoffnung entgegen. Tish ist schwanger, sie wollen heiraten und malen sich eine große Zukunft in der Beale Street aus. Doch dann wird Fonny der Vergewaltigung einer Puertoricanerin beschuldigt und inhaftiert. Tish und ihr Anwalt unternehmen alles Menschenmögliche, Fonnys Unschuld zu beweisen, bevor das Baby zur Welt kommt - gegen die Widerstände einer weißen Justiz. Der Fall spaltet die Nachbarschaft, führt aber auch zusammen, was einst zerrüttet war.

Ein einziger Tag kann deine Welt zum Einstürzen bringen, ein einziger Tag kann deine Rettung sein. John Grime ist ein schwarzer empfindsamer Junge aus Harlem, sexuell unschlüssig, seine einzige Waffe zur Selbstverteidigung ist sein kristallklarer Verstand. Aber was nützt es schon, von den weißen Lehrern geschätzt zu werden, wenn der eigene Vater einem tagtäglich predigt, man sei wertlos, solange man sich nicht von der Kirche retten lässt.

Im Paris der Fünfziger lernt David den reizend überheblichen, löwenhaften Giovanni kennen. Die beiden beginnen eine Affäre - Verlangen und auch Scham brechen in David los wie ein Sturm. Als plötzlich seine Verlobte zurückkehrt, bringt David nicht den Mut auf, sich zu outen. Im Glauben, sich durch Verleugnung selbst retten zu können, stürzt er Giovanni in ein Unglück, das tödlich endet. Mit "Giovannis Zimmer" brach Baldwin gleich zwei Tabus: Als schwarzer Schriftsteller schrieb er über die Liebe zwischen zwei weißen Männern.

The unseen force drags him into dangerous and horrific situations. He learns to stay back in the shadows, away from the horrors he is forced to witness. He is not allowed to assist nor intervene in any way. He is after all, only the recorder.
