Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin
5.0

I read quite a bit of Baldwin a long time ago in my early 20's. I was recently inspired to go back to his books and with the years I possibly appreciate them even more. This collection of stories is breathtaking in its beauty and stark social truth. There is a power to his words but lyricism never takes away from the heart of the characters and their motivation/s. Hs stories ring so true in both the banal and the heartbreaking. A truly incredible writer.
