James Baldwin in Love w/ Nicholas Boggs
Nicholas Boggs, author of the new James Baldwin biography, Baldwin: A Love Story (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), stops by the pod for a conversation on the platonic and romantic love life of the icon. How did Baldwin’s love for men, women, and people square with his love for Country? What James Baldwin did with all his longing. A look at euro-centric beauty standards and unusual paths to self-love. The importance of the archives, and remembering that your favorite bygone writer used toilets, too.
