Another Country (novel)
''Another Country'' is a 1962 novel by James Baldwin. The novel is set in Greenwich Village in the late 1950s. It portrayed many themes that were taboo at the time of its release including bisexuality, interracial couples and extramarital affairs.
==Background information==
Baldwin started writing ''Another Country'' in Greenwich Village in 1948 and continued to write the novel in Paris and again New York. Despite his privately confessed reluctance to bring "''Another Country'', unfinished, into yet another country," Baldwin completed the book in Istanbul in 1962.〔Leeming, ''James Baldwin'' (1994), p. 195.〕 In 1959, amidst growing fame, Baldwin received a $12,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to support his work on the book.〔Leeming, ''James Baldwin'' (1994), p. 157.〕
Baldwin had returned to the United States in 1957, partly to cover the mounting civil rights campaign led by Martin Luther King, Jr.. Baldwin admired King, but sought to depict relationships deeper than King's "brotherly love".〔
