A review of TELL ME HOW LONG THE TRAIN'S BEEN GONE by James Baldwin. I explore Leo Proudhammer’s relationships with the people around him, especially the emotional and political tensions between Leo and Caleb. I also discuss how the novel reflects Baldwin’s shifting worldview in the late 1960s and 70s, as Black radical life, liberation movements, and America itself were rapidly changing.
