As their families come together to fight for his freedom, will their love be enough?Soulful . . . Racial injustice may flatten “the black experience” into one single, fearful, constantly undermined way of life – but black life, black love, is so much larger than that . . . It’s one of the signature lessons of Baldwin’s work that blackness contains multitudes’ Vanity Fair
If Beale Street Could Talk affirms not only love between a man and a woman, but love of a type that is dealt with only rarely in contemporary fiction – that between members of a family’ Joyce Carol Oates
