"If Beale Street Could Talk" by James Baldwin

Overview:  Browsing at the local bookstore in Reading, Whitelam Books, I stumbled across a short novel by James Baldwin with a movie promo cover called If Beale Street Could Talk. I cannot put it down.  It is a beautiful book, and there is something serendipitous about my finding and experiencing this book with what we have been reading, viewing, and discussing in class.  I feel like the book found me.  Below is a link to purchase the book and get information, along with the theatrical trailer for the film, directed by Barry Jenkins, the Oscar winning director of Moonlight.  I opens in December.  Please see me if you would like more information.  I will be holding a book club during H-block.
