1. 1. Baldwin

   

   Nicholas Boggs’s Baldwin examines how James Baldwin’s intimate and artistic relationships—including his mentor Beauford Delaney, his partner Lucien Happersberger, and collaborators Engin Cezzar and Yoran Cazac—influenced his life and writing. Using archival material, the book traces how geographic, cultural, political, artistic, and erotic ties shaped Baldwin’s work and its place in Civil Rights and Black and queer literary history.
