Another Country

“A masterwork… an almost unbearable, tumultuous, blood-pounding experience.” – Washington Post

First published in 1962, Another Country stirred the literary world with its bold and raw exploration of desire, hatred, and violence. James Baldwin introduces us to Rufus Scott, a troubled jazz musician navigating the gritty streets of Harlem and New York’s Bohemian scene. Charismatic yet self-destructive, Rufus pulls readers into an intense underworld fueled by music, passion, and betrayal, where each character is pushed to their limits in a volatile dance of love and danger.

“With Another Country, Baldwin crafted the defining American drama of the century.” – Colm Tóibín
