Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin
5.0

I'm astonished by the power, and the variety, of these stories. As a collection, it's in the same league as Joyce's Dubliners, or Hemingway's In Our Time. Every story in here is good, and the vast majority are very sharp, cutting gems. I won't single out any one, because they are all good, and for all their variety, in a strange way, they are unified by the sense of anger molding them into terrible beauties.
