Nobody Knows My Name: More Notes of a Native Son is a collection of essays, published by Dial Press in July 1961, by American author James Baldwin. Like Baldwin's first collection, Notes of a Native Son (publ. 1955), it includes revised versions of several of his previously published essays, as well as new material.
For me, reading Baldwin is less about the individual essays than the sentences and honest truths Baldwin reveals about himself and his subjects. Absolutely a "life writer" for me.
