Baldwin, James - Tell Me How Long This Trains Been Gone

New York, The Dial Press, 1968. 1st Edition. Hardcover. 1st Edition. Hardcover. First Edition / First Printing. 8vo. Bound in the publisher’s striking white cloth binding with brown spine lettering, complete in the original UNCLIPPED dust jacket priced at $5.95 with a photo of Baldwin on the back. Published at the height of the Civil Rights era, this deeply personal novel explores art, sexuality, race, and freedom through the life of actor Leo Proudhammer. Baldwin called it his most “intimate” work, blending the personal with the political in a voice at once tender and uncompromising. This copy is near fine: bright and clean, a tight binding, and only light evidence of shelf use. The jacket is fresh and unclipped, far better preserved than commonly encountered. A landmark American novel by one of the 20th century’s most essential voices. Near Fine/Near Fine.
