National Gallery of Art: James Baldwin in 1965, drinking tea from a samovar in Istanbul, Turkey.
His home for a total of seven years, Istanbul was a refuge from
Western racism—and the place where he finished Another Country, Blues for Mister Charlie, and
Tell Me How Long the Train's Been Gone. Photo by Sedat Pakay, © 1989, 2013 DKDmedia
