　　James Baldwin was beginning to be recognized as the most

brilliant black writer of his generation when his first book of

essays, Notes of a Native Son, established his reputation in 1955.

No one was more pleased by the book’s reception than Baldwin’s high

school friend Sol Stein. A rising New York editor, novelist, and

playwright, Stein had suggested that Baldwin do the book and coaxed

his old friend through the long and sometimes agonizing process of

putting the volume together and seeing it into print. Now, in this

fascinating new book, Sol Stein documents the story of his intense

creative partnership with Baldwin through newly uncovered letters,

photos, in*ions, and an illuminating memoir of the friendship

that resulted in one of the classics of American literature.

Included in this book are the two works they created together–the

story “Dark Runner” and the play Equal in Paris, both published

here for the first time.

Though a world of difference separated them–Baldwin was black and

gay, living in self-imposed exile in Europe; Stein was Jewish and

married, with a growing family to support–the two men shared the

same fundamental passion. Nothing mattered more to either of them

than telling and writing the truth, which was not always welcome.

As Stein wrote Baldwin in a long, heartfelt letter, “You are the

only friend with whom I feel comfortable about all three: heart,

head, and writing.” In this extraordinary book, Stein unfolds how

that shared passion played out in the months surrounding the

creation and publication of Baldwin’s Notes of a Native Son, in

which Baldwin’s main themes are illuminated.

A literary event published to honor the eightieth anniversary of

James Baldwin’s birth, Native Sons is a celebration of one of the

most fruitful and influential friendships in American

letters.

　　For over three decades, Sol Stein edited and published some of

the leading writers of the Twentieth century, including James

Baldwin, Dylan Thomas, W. H. Auden, and Lionel Trilling. A

prize-winning playwright and the author of nine novels, as well as

nonfiction books, screenplays, and TV dramas, Stein lives in New

York.

　　Born in 1924, James Baldwin made a name for himself with his

first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain in 1953. His legendary

Notes of a Native Son appeared two years later, and he went on to

publish fiction, poetry, plays, and essays that profoundly

influenced the literature of Twentieth-century America. Baldwin

died in France in 1987.

No one was more pleased by the book’s reception than Baldwin’s high school friend Sol Stein.

Now, in this fascinating new book, Sol Stein documents the story of his intense creative partnership with Baldwin through newly uncovered letters, photos, inscriptions, and an illuminating memoir of the friendship that resulted in one of the classics of American literature. Included in this book are the two works they created together–the story “Dark Runner” and the play Equal in Paris , both published here for the first time.
