Blues for Mister Charlie: A Play

Foreshadows much of the framing of today’s troubles—privilege, race, attitudes and necessity of the lines we draw against on another in the sand.

James Baldwin is one of the most influential writers of the 20th century. His ability, as a black intellectual and writer, to write about racism and American society during the middle part of the century, was unparalleled. I hope to one day see a live performance this play enacted on the stage.

This is a great read. It’s the first play I’ve ever read and it was a page turner. I read a monologue for my acting class and decided to read the play as suggested by my instructor. It was great!

Very interesting story to read , I loved it, it is a great book that will make you feel sad and anxious in the same time . It is a must read if you have a few hours to spare . This book is not long so it could be read in less than 4 hours

Based, loosely, on the death of Emmett Till. The play still seems prescient, thought I don't know if Baldwin's play are still performed.

Good

Had to read this play for dramatic structure a college course that is required for my major I thought it was beautiful and so HONEST

This book was sent on time and in good condition. The book itself was not something I would read normally. It was required reading for school.

Still hard hitting
