Another Country is a novel of passions--sexual, racial, political, artistic--that is stunning for its emotional intensity and haunting sensuality, depicting men and women, blacks and whites, stripped of their masks of gender and race by love and hatred at the most elemental and sublime. In a small set of friends, Baldwin imbues the best and worst intentions of liberal America in the early 1970s.

Set in Greenwich Village, Harlem, and France, among other locales, this book delves deep into the personal and societal struggles of the era, making it a timeless exploration of human connections and the forces that challenge them.
