The Amen Corner by James Baldwin

3.0

Amen,
Thy will be done.
Amen,
So be it.


By and large, I loved The Amen Corner for the glimpse I caught in the essence of Black church -- the preaching and the praying, the singing and the shouting. It came out vividly, and powerfully, in the form of a play, perhaps more so than a novel.
