He had completed his first year at an Irish university and was struggling to free himself from a religious upbringing.

Inspired by the novel Go Tell It on the Mountain, Tóibín found a writer who would be a lifelong companion and exemplar.". 20240827. Baldwin, James 1924-1987 Criticism and interpretation.
