Just Above My Head Baldwin James
James Baldwin first wrote about homosexuality in his famous early novel, "Giovanni's Room". Arthur was found dead in the basement of a London pub at the age of thirty-nine, yet he lies on in this memoir. Here, he brings homosexuality and race together in the story of the great gospel singer Arthur Montana.
Set against a vividly drawn background of the civil rights movement of the sixties, "Just Above My Head" explores how Arthur discovers his love for Jimmy - 'with his smile like a lantern and a voice like Saturday nights' - and portrays how profoundly racial politics can shape the private business of love. Written by Hall, his brother and manager, it is in part a subtle and moving study of the treacherous ebb and flow of memory.
