Daniels. In this critique, the author is talking about the style that his novels were written. This is a very agreeable criticism after reading an excerpt from one of his books. “All that befell: in her joys, her pipe in the evening, her man at the night, the children she sucked” (Baldwin).

James Baldwin states, “The world turned dark, forever, everywhere, and bore all the tears of eternity, threatening at every instant to shatter inward against this force” (Baldwin). Some of his writing could be very dark or mysterious like this
