I am reading "Baldwin: A Love Story" right now. It's huge but very good, and very enlightening on issues of race and color and sexuality and how individuals navigate a world with cultures built to oppress them and do the introspective and interpersonal work to think about and write about those cultures both creatively and truthfully. Huge recommend.

I'm reading the audiobook and the reader does a great Baldwin voice without making it feel like an artifical or shallow impersonation.
