Caffeinated Curation: James Baldwin

Kicking off a series of literary works paired with beverages by @blueprintcoffee, this week’s “Caffeinated Curation” features “Little Man Little Man” by James Baldwin and Yoran Cazac, and San Lorenzo filtered coffee from Guatemala, which offers sweet, nutty, citrusy notes, and earthy qualities. 📚☕

Born in 1924, “Uncle Jimmy” as he is sometimes referred, was a Harlem-born openly gay black novelist who addressed issues that were often left untouched. This book, recommended by Gina Grafos of @kranzbergarts, depicts oppression through the lens of a child. “His words are like butter,” Grafos said.
