nila 's review for:

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin
4.5
challenging emotional hopeful informative inspiring reflective sad tense slow-paced

The edition I have is barely 89 pages, but I would recommend taking your time reading through this. It evokes so many emotions and thoughts, I found myself stopping in order to read about events or people mentioned.  The most frustrating part is of course how, in many ways, it does not feel like there have been many changes to the topics that Baldwin discusses
