James Baldwin is an American Negro writer who spent almost of his life living in Europe. On the 7-page note, he reveals his own experience in finding his own identity. He hardly defines who he is while living in American due to the color problem (17). However, after moving to Europe, especially in French, he feels so different and seems to be very grateful for that. One important indicator that he describes as a big difference of a black man living in Europe and America is “social paranoia” (20). This term refers to the ability of social interaction between every individual one society. He compares that in America there is a social and occupational barriers in communication, while it is not the case in Europe. Therefore, he, as well as many other American writers in Europe, has an extraordinary feeling because “he can reach out to everyone, that he is accessible to everyone and open to everything” (20).
