“His Work Is Not Relevant, It’s Permanent” with Ed Pavlić
Description
Ed Pavlić, Baldwin historian and Professor of English & African American Studies at UGA-Athens, describes how he became friends with the James Baldwin family and helped the film version of If Beale Street Could Talk happen. Ed also shares his research on Baldwin’s family relationships—especially with his brother David Baldwin—and the surprising lessons Ed discovered in getting to know the real James Baldwin through reading his personal letters.
