James Baldwin's Another Country is a fearless exploration of love, race, and sexuality in 1960s New York City. Following a diverse group of friends and lovers navigating the complexities of desire and identity, Baldwin creates a raw, unflinching portrait of human connection across racial and sexual boundaries. The novel challenges readers to confront the ways society's divisions shape intimate relationships and personal freedom.

WHY WE PICKED IT: Because Baldwin wrote about love as an act of courage in a world determined to keep people apart. This novel is messy, painful, and achingly honest about the cost of crossing boundaries that shouldn't exist in the first place. It's a reminder that the most radical thing we can do is love across the lines society draws.
