The Price of the Ticket Collected Nonfiction 1948-1985 by James Baldwin is a compendium of nearly fifty years of Baldwin's powerful nonfiction writing. With truce and profound insight, these personal and prophetic works speak to the heart of the experience of race and identity. Included are the full texts of Notes of a Native Son, Nobody Knows My Name, The Fire Next Time, No Name in the Street, and The Devil Finds Work, along with dozens of other pieces. The book is an intellectual history of the 20th century black American experience, and by extension, of all American experience.
