Franklin Center, Pennsylvania: The Franklin Library, 1979. Fine.. Signed limited Franklin Library edition of Baldwin's first novel, his semi-autobiographical "extended rite of exorcism" (Harris). In writing this book, Baldwin did more than draw from his own experiences growing up with a religiously domineering father in 1930s Harlem: he wrote and re-wrote the work for ten years as a way to come to terms with the painful relationship with his father.
