| Summary | In this thesis, I analyze "Another Country," “Sonny’s Blues,” and other fictional and critical works by James Baldwin in the contexts of the extraordinary lives of Baldwin, Bessie Smith, and Billy Strayhorn. I hope to highlight how these African American jazz memoirs function as figurative "Ghost Notes" to haunt, forecast, and, at times, directly influence Baldwin’s narratives. |
