166 - Go Tell It On The Mountain by James Baldwin

Another Book on the Shelf

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Yes, it's time for our annual James Baldwin episode. This year we're reading Baldwin's first novel, Go Tell It On the Mountain.

Thankfully, we're not close to running out of Baldwin books just yet, but we may have to do a retrospective at some point anyway. Really we just want an excuse to re-read Another Country.
Go Tell It On the Mountain is on both Modern Library and Time's list of Top 100 Books of the 20th Century. (The Time list is actually weirdly specific to between 1923 and 2005, but it's easier to say 20th century.)
Find the full list of all our James Baldwin episodes below.
The next episode is a book club episode and we'll be reading Jette's pick, The Nineties by Chuck Klosterman. As children of the 90s, we're looking forward to revisiting this decade.
