Description

One of the more noteworthy elements about "The Magpie," is the element of peer collaboration.  While James Baldwin, the "Magpie" editor and writer, is the subject of this podcast, young Baldwin was also a part of a network of gifted and young writers, who all wrote for "The Magpie."  This episode introduces us to one of Baldwin's peers/collaborators/friends: Sol SteinIncident in London is read by Tina E.Three Houses is read by Myron AbernathyEpisode References:Blitz in LondonErnie PyleBook of AmosSet Thine House in OrderE Plurubis UnumUber AllesNew York Times Review of "Notes of a Native Son" by Langston HughesFurther Reading:Books by James BaldwinThe Furious Passage of James Baldwin by Fern M.
