If Beale Street Could Talk - Scented Book Candle

  • $38.00

Scent: Black Wood

Size: 12.5 oz.

 

This literary candle is based on 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 the 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 was 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.

The Black Wood scent is masculine and strong, honest and straightforward. 

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. As an openly gay man, James Baldwin became increasingly outspoken in condemning discrimination against lesbian and gay people.
