...apparent, The Price Of The Ticket is more biography than political manifesto. Indeed, the collection of early Baldwin articles is a fantastic addition to the study of how his present philosophy has emerged. The latter half of his career, especially the longer essays which are available in other forms, could have been edited. One wonders how many of Baldwin's former neighbors in Harlem can afford the book's thirty-dollar pricetag. But the biographical importance of this collection outweighs any criticisms about its format. It is rare thing when a human being progresses as far as Baldwin--from clumsy...

With patience and faith, his hero emerges cold- forged by tragedy, observing that what sets one man apart from another is not brains or money but "what he will risk for love." Ward has taken a similar chance in an age of upwardly mobile fiction. Passion informs every page of this tale without cheapening or glorifying its difficult subjects.
