The Amen Corner: A Play (Vintage International) by James Baldwin (EPUB)

Description

A scalding, uplifting, sorrowful, and exultant masterpiece of the modern American theater, The Amen Corner is a play about faith and family, about the gulf between black men and black women and black fathers and black sons.In his first work for the theater, James Baldwin brought all the fervor and majestic rhetoric of the storefront churches of his childhood along with an unwavering awareness of the price those churches exacted from their worshipers. For years Sister Margaret Alexander has moved her Harlem congregation with a mixture of personal charisma and ferocious piety. But when Margaret’s estranged husband, a scapegrace jazz musician, comes home to die, she is in danger of losing both her standing in the church and the son she has tried to keep on the godly path.

User’s Reviews

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐James Baldwin creates characters that are so real, that in this short play, he makes the reader feel all of their pain and conflicting wants and needs. Every single word drives the plot. Every scene illuminates something new about the characters. People are not who they seem. Laws that are carved in stone are shown to be impermanent. It is a story of betrayal, of rejection, of loss, of redemption, of being found, of being understood, and ultimately of forgiving ourselves and others. Beautifully written. Heartbreaking and uplifting.

⭐An old-school drama that still packs a punch with female leads, difficult questions about sin and redemption, and the meaning of serving God without judging the people who need your ministry.

⭐Baldwin should be required reading for all high school.

⭐Really good read !!! James Baldwin’s writings are great !!!

⭐In my acting class, I was assigned a scene from this wonderful piece of literature. I believe I read it years ago but this reading was exceptional. As I read, I could see the characters like a movie. Great read for everyone!
