Very positive review of Go Tell it on the Mountain

‘It is the first novel of a young Negro writer, James Baldwin: the plot turns on a Harlem boy’s religious conversion; and with the extreme freshness of a young man’s view of the world – which one might expect to find in a first novel – goes a maturity and an extraordinary skill, both technical and psychological…a reviewer’s job get a rare excitement to it when a first novel like this one comes along’.
