When Another Country appeared in 1962, it caused a literary sensation. James Baldwin's masterly story of desire, hatred, and violence opens with the unforgettable character of Rufus Scott, a scavenging Harlem jazz musician adrift in New York. Self-destructive, bad, and brilliant, he draws us into a Bohemian underworld pulsing with heat, music, and sex, where desperate and dangerous characters betray, love, and test each other to the limit.
