Join the Sioux City Public Library’s Open Book Club as we discuss ‘Go Tell It on the Mountain’ by James Baldwin.

BOOK SYNOPSIS
With lyrical precision, psychological directness, resonating symbolic power, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin tells the story of the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Originally published in 1953, Baldwin said of his first novel,” Mountain is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else.”
