Read this excerpt from james baldwin's "notes of a native son":
that year in new jersey lives in my mind as though it were
the year during which, having an unsuspected predilection
for it, i first contracted some dread, chronic disease, the
unfailing symptom of which is a kind of blind fever, a
pounding in the skull and fire in the bowels. once this
disease is contracted, one can never be really carefree
again, for the fever, without an instant's warning, can recur
at any moment.
