"If Beale Street Could Talk" scented book candle
"If Beale Street Could Talk" scented book candle
It is an honest and stunning novel that inspired the award-winning major motion picture of the same name. "A moving, painful story, so vividly human and so obviously based on reality that it strikes us as timeless." –The New York Times Book Review.
The scent for this candle is called Black Wood. It is inspired by one of the novel's strongest symbols - the sculpture given by Fonny to Tish's mother. It symbolizes the black male experience throughout If Beale Street Could Talk, not only in its physical similarities, but also in what it signifies. About the author: James Baldwin was born in 1924 and educated in New York. In his works he explores palpable yet unspoken intricacies of racial, sexual, and class distinctions in Western societies, most notably in mid-twentieth-century America.
