Heading: Author: Baldwin, James Title: Words of a Native Son Place Published: New York Publisher:WNDT Date Published: 23063 Description: 10" LP vinyl record, approximately 34 minutes in length. Introduction by Kay Boyle. Printed label with typed title and date, plain paper sleeve. Likely unique vinyl copy of a 1963 talk James Baldwin recorded for WNDT radio in New York, along with Kay Boyle. "Both my mother, Kay Boyle and I were in attendance at this radio broadcast, and which the station later provided Kay with, this recording of the event...the topic herein is Baldwin talking about writing prose as literature and how it contrasts with his efforts at writing a play for performance. He ends this ‘talk‘ by relating to his past, growing up in Harlem, and upon which he was basing his then attempt to compose a play, all on very personal experiences, observations, and memories. Kay and Jimmy were great friends, having met at the McDowell Colony in Peterboro, New Hampshire, an artistic retreat, back in 1960." - Ian von Franckenstein. There is a holding of an audiocassette version at Beinecke Rare Book and Manuscript Library, but no other mention of this recording could be located online.
