Just Above My Head

**James Baldwin’s final novel is “the work of a born storyteller at the height of his powers” (** The New York Times Book Review **).** *“Not everything is lost. Responsibility cannot be lost, it can only be abdicated. If one refuses abdication, one begins again.”* The stark grief of a brother mourning a brother opens this stunning, unforgettable novel. Here, in a monumental saga of love and rage, James Baldwin goes back to Harlem, to the church of his groundbreaking novel *Go Tell It on the Mountain* , to the forbidden passion of *Giovanni’s Room* , and to the political fire that enflames his nonfiction work. Here, too, the story of gospel singer Arthur Hall and his family becomes both a journey into another country of the soul and senses—and a living contemporary history of black struggle in this land.
