Go Tell It on the Mountain	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Go Tell It on the Mountain is the first and perhaps best-known novel of the American writer James Baldwin. Published in 1953 and based closely on Baldwin's own adolescent experiences, the book follows fourteen-year-old John Grimes, his hard-nosed stepfather (and Pentecostal preacher) Gabriel, his mother Elizabeth, and his aunt Florence as they grapple with their Christian faith and negotiate the hardships of African American life in early 20th-century Harlem and elsewhere.Go Tell It on the Mountain is considered a modern classic, and it established Baldwin as an important voice in 20th-century American literature. It addresses many of the themes that would come to be signatures of his work, including issues of racial and sexual identity, the suffering and resilience of black people in America, and the role of religion in African American life.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Not to be confused with the spiritual song of the same name, though that is the source of the novel's title.

Go Tell It on the Mountain / int_e34400ab	comment	Ambiguously Gay: John. His sexuality is never made explicit in-text (in part because he himself is still figuring it out), but the not-so-subtle hints scattered throughout the book—as well as his role as the Author Avatar for the openly-gay Baldwin—leave little doubt as to his orientation.
