"Mountain," Baldwin said, "is the book I had to write if I was ever going to write anything else."
Go Tell It On The Mountain, first published in 1953, is Baldwin's first major work, a novel that has established itself as an American classic. With lyrical precision, psychological directness, and a rage that is at once unrelenting and compassionate, Baldwin chronicles a fourteen-year-old boy's discovery of the terms of his identity as the stepson of the minister of a storefront Pentecostal church in Harlem one Saturday in March of 1935. Baldwin's rendering of his protagonist's spiritual, sexual, and moral struggle of self-invention opened new possibilities in the American language and in the way Americans understand themselves.

"Baldwin's way of seeing, his clearity, precision, and eloquence are unique....He manages to be concrete, particular...yet also transcendent, arching above the immediacy of an occassion of crisis. He speaks as great black gospel music speaks, through metaphor, parable, rhythm."--John Edgar Wideman —John Edgar Wideman

"You think your pains and heartbreaks are unprecedented in the history of the world, but then you read. It was books that taught me that the things that tormented me were the very things that connected me with all the people who were alive, or who have ever been alive."
"Beyond talent lie all the usual words: discipline, love, luck -- but, most of all, endurance."
