James Baldwin is one of America's preeminent public intellectuals. Looking forward to his 100th birthday in 2024, BaldwinBibliography.com is launching a book club dedicated to his work.

Whether you're Baldwin-curious or a Baldwinphile, beginning in August 2022, you can read or re-read a book a month and join together in discussion with others around the world on Twitter, using the hashtag #BaldwinBookClub.

There's no registration, no fees, no commitments. Anyone is encouraged to participate in this virtual community of readers.
