James Baldwin’s honest and stunning classic, "If Beale Street Could Talk," is a powerful tale of love, injustice, and resilience. Set in 1970s Harlem, it follows the young couple Tish and Fonny, whose love is tested when Fonny is falsely accused of a crime. In a love story that evokes the blues, where passion and sadness are inevitably intertwined, Baldwin has created two characters so alive and profoundly realized that they are unforgettably ingrained in the American psyche.
