His first novel, Go Tell It On The Mountain, was published in 1953 decades later, Time Magazine. As a writer, he garnered acclaim across various mediums, including essays, novels, plays, and poems. Rufus is a creative genuis that could have been a better man, but instead he lived in a time where he was just seen as another black man. James Arthur Baldwin (Aug December 1, 1987) was an American writer and activist. He is a tortured black man, some would say most black men are tortured in the United States, and he falls for a white woman who he physically abuses, but loves very much. Rufus Scott can considered to be the main character in "Another Country" even though he dies in the first chapter. Then, when youre dead, when theyve killed you by what they made you go through, they say you didnt have any character. I like the scene because it show James Baldwin's writing ability, it is descriptive, and you can see it in your mind's eye. They tear you limb from limb, in the name of love. I love the scene where Eric recalls walking in Europe and he is carrying a radio in his hand,listening to classic musical, and he is followed by a man that will be his lover. Another Country is an intricate novel about a diverse group of idealistic but often troubled individuals in New York City.

You feel like you get to know each of the characters, and you want them to be settled, but that is difficult based on the discrimination of the time, and how James Baldwin's writes about love as something that can be used to destroy another person, and he thinks that how a lot of people use love.
