“If Baldwin found peace with his stepfather after his death, then his early writing was an exorcism of sorts.” @misbehavingmonk on James Baldwin and complex relationships with paternal figures.

Publishing today!
In his new book, @misbehavingmonk unravels his lifelong fascination with #JamesBaldwin.
Tracing Baldwin's footsteps, Field offers both an intimate look at Baldwin's life and influence, and a poignant account of coming to terms with his own father's Alzheimer's.

If the book is as great as the cover, then I’m in for a real treat.
