Description: His "Fire Next Time"BETWEEN THE WORLD AND MEBy Ta-Nehisi Coates(2015)First edition of the hugely popular short-essay book that would catapult Coates to literary fame.Near fine in near fine jacket."I've been wondering who might fill the intellectual void that plagued me after James Baldwin died. Clearly it is Ta-Nehisi Coates." — Toni Morrison Hailed by A.O Scott writing for the NEW YORK TIMES as "essential, like water or air," few books capture a moment in American social discourse quite as effectively as BETWEEN THE WORLD AND ME, which was both a product of and impetus for an increasing public consciousness around racial inequality. Deliberately evoking Baldwin's THE FIRE NEXT TIME with its epistolary framing (Coates writes to his son as Baldwin wrote to his nephew), the book would paradoxically make Coates a darling of the overwhelmingly white literati — an irony that was not lost on the author, who has alluded to his bewilderment with the phenomenon in interviews and later writings.
