Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin

4.0

Some of the stories are better than others, but "Sonny's Blues," "This Morning, This Evening, So Soon," and "Going to Meet the Man" are must-reads, even when difficult (especially "Going to Meet the Man"). Perhaps no quote better sums up Baldwin's work than this:
"For while the tale of how we suffer, and how we are delighted, and how we may triumph is never new, it always must be heard. There isn't any other tale to tell, it's the only light we've got in all this darkness."
