He was a giant." &mdash Maya Angelou This collectible edition celebrates James Baldwin&rsquo s 100th-year anniversary, delving into his years in France and Switzerland Originally published in Notes of a Native Son, the essays, "Encounter on the Seine: Black Meets Brown," "A Question of Identity," "Equal in Paris," and "Stranger in the Village" will appeal to readers interested in Baldwin's observations as a Black man overseas.
