Yardley, Jonathan. "James Baldwin Strikes a Spark." Washington Post 16 Feb. 2004: C01.
Web. 16 Dec. 2012. <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A44777-2004Feb15.html>.
Yardley begins by discussing Baldwin’s attitude post-fame, which changed him from a smart, sensitive
man to an egotistical author. Mostly discusses Notes on a Native Son and the fire of hatred Baldwin
presented in it, especially towards white Americans. Yardley’s essay reaffirms the importance of
Baldwin’s early work, and reminds the public of his early skill as well as his later skill.Yardley seems to
be reliable on the importance of Baldwin, and helps form the full picture of his trajectory into fame and
beyond.
