fallonc 's review for:

Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin
4.0

I highly recommend this collection of short stories for anyone being introduced to Baldwin. "Going to Meet the Man" is like a variety box of cookies--just enough to try them all but not enough to stop you from wanting more.

From characters like John and Roy, the lead roles in "Go Tell It on the Mountain," to racially ambiguous characters like Eric, the short stories found in "Going to Meet the Man" are shorter that Baldwin's novels, but not lacking the action and characterization readers find most appealing about his novels.
