Another Country

<p><b>'A masterwork... an almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience' <i>Washinton Post</i></b> <p>When <i>Another Country</i> 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. <p>'In <i>Another Country</i>, Baldwin created the essential American drama of the century' Colm Tóibín</p>
