He lived in the guest lodge at William StyronвЂ™s house in Connecticut. He worked at the MacDowell retreat for artists.

He went to Switzerland and Stockholm and Israel, San Francisco and Chicago and Fire Island. He moved between Paris and New York, but he did not stay for long in either place. Between 1956, when he began to work in earnest on Another Country (there are also some versions and drafts from much earlier) and the end of 1961, when the book was finished, James Baldwin crossed the Atlantic by sea at least six times. The success of his early books allowed his restlessness and his mercurial nature an immense freedom. In 1961 he published a second book of essays, Nobody Knows My Name, and the following year his third novel, Another Country, an immediate bestseller in the United States, appeared. Two years later his first book of essays, Notes of a Native Son, came out, and in 1956 his second novel, GiovanniвЂ™s Room, was published. His voice, so stylish, insisted that the language - English - in all its nuance and subtlety belonged to him, just as America in all its cruelty and hatred belonged to him too.Д«aldwin published his first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, in 1953 when he was twenty-nine. BaldwinвЂ™s nation in these essays was emphatically America, his self an American self. His tone did, however, borrow something from his preacher days: it was fearless and urgent, combining a concern about public policy and public attitudes with a probing and oddly intimate concern with the dark and uncharted spaces within the self. His style was not that of the Bible or the pulpit (Baldwin had been a child preacher) but took its bearings from the early sources of English eloquence: Francis Bacon, Thomas Browne, William Hazlitt. They a.In the early 1950s, as he was winning fame as a novelist, James Baldwin published a number of essays about the state of his nation which were passionately and elegantly written. Inside the novel a group of characters, each from their own group, have been thrown together, be it Rufus the African-American, Vivaldo the Irish-Italian or Leona the Southerner. This 'Cold Melting Pot' is exactly how Another Country could be described. These two theoretical models of immigration are known as, the 'Tossed Salad' and the 'Cold Melting Pot,' the former means that all of the immigrant groups have not actually mixed in with the other groups, they are still wholly identifiable and still live in their community groups the latter, means that the melting pot has actually cooled and although the cultures have been mixed, they have still retained their identity and can be identified from this amalgamation of groups. The book is set in New York, a city often described as the 'Melting Pot,' this is because it is seen to attract all types of immigrants, from all over the world and seems to throw them all together until they have melted and become one identity, this, of course, is not always the case! As it has been seen, groups still attach their country of forefather's origin when describing themselves, this identity crisis has led the way for more theories on the 'Melting Pot' subject and as a result two more models have been made to describe this phenomenon. The United States of America cannot be seen as an entity within itself, but rather as one seething mass of different groups, each with it's own identity, each that has a distinguishing feature that separates it from all other groups the country of their fore-fathers origin, in the instance of the novel being looked at (Another Country by James Baldwin) that would be African- American. Modern American Literature is preoccupied by what separates us as human beings rather than what binds us together.'
