Editor's Note:
Ve svazku společně vycházejí dvě díla, vymezující autorovu tvorbu.Prvotina Jdi a hlásej to z vrchů (Go Tell It on the Mountain, 1953) je příběhem čtrnáctiletého černošského chlapce Johna, který se pokouší definovat svůj vztah k nejbližšímu okolí i společnosti, v níž žije, aby se tak dobral pravdy a své totožnosti a místě v životě. Děj se odehrává především v současném Harlemu v prostředí pololidového černošského náboženství – jedné z mála oblastní, v níž mohli američtí černoši volně promlouvat ke svým spoluobčanům. Retrospektivní pasáže pak zabírají i život na americkém Jihu, který už do jisté míry patří minulosti. Výpovědi, vzpomínky a úvahy čtyř hlavním postav, Johna Grimese, jeho otce Gabriela, matky Elizabeth a tety Florence, se prolínají v náročně koncipovaném, nesmírně působivém proudu vyprávění. V barvitém obrazném jazyce a propracované větné stavbě se odráží zlidovělá biblická tradice, která je tak specifická pro metaforický jazyk prostých černošských kazatelů. Melodika vět upomíná na další kulturní dědictví, jehož si je Baldwin vědom, na tradici americké černošské hudby. Konkrétní příběh Johnova hledání se těmito formálními prostředky posouvá do obecnější roviny, působivé svou univerzálností.Román Beale Street blues (If Beale Street Could Talk, 1974), jehož název je inspirován i u nás známým lidovým černošským blues, je baladickou výpovědí o lásce dvou černých milenců, kteří o své štěstí musí nekompromisně bojovat. Dějištěm je opět newyorský Harlem, hrdinové opět narážejí na překážky, které brání jejich lidské seberealizaci a milostnému vztahu. Překážky o to záludnější, že tentokráte tu nestojí jako osamělí jedinci bouřící se proti okolnímu světu, ale jako reprezentanti černé menšiny, jejiž postavení v bílé Americe ještě zdaleka není dořešeno.James Baldwin patří ke špičkovým autorům poválečné americké prózy, kterou charakterizují jména jako B. Malamud, S. Bellow, P. Rhot, J. Updike nebo W. Styron. Narodil se 1924 v newyorské černošské čtvrti Harlemu. Zde vyrůstal a především odtud čerpal inspiraci ke své tvorbě: soustředil se na problematiku postavení černochů ve Spojených státech, na vztahy, jejichž kořeny sahají hluboko do kulturní a sociální historie USA. Obecněji pak jde o problém jedince vyvrženého majoritní společností, jenž naráží na překážky bráníci lidskému porozumění, pochopení, lásce. V Baldwinových dílech se průběžně setkáváme s charakteristickou ambivalencí lásky a nenávisti, soucitu a odporu, strachu a vášně; objevují se tu tragická nedorozumění mezi lidmi uvězněnými v čase a prostoru, v sobě samých, ve své rodině, konvencích a přehradách své společnosti. Takové už je téma jeho úspěšné prvotiny Jdi a hlásej to z vrchů. Baldwin je rovněž autorem řady vynikajících esejů, v nichž se zamýšlí nad stejnou problematikou jako ve svých prózách. Baldwinova tvorba byla odměněna řadou literárních cen a uznání.Doslov „Baldwinovy sondy do hlubin amerického svědomí“ napsal Josef Jařab.Obálku, vazbu a grafickou úpravu navrhla Drahomíra Macounová.Náklad 16 000 výtisků.ISBN 01-090-79
