Going to Meet the Man by James Baldwin

4.0

Some of the short stories I liked better than others, but it is a very good example of his work. I had to sit with some of these characters a while before moving on to the next one, since they all have their painful circumstances or memories. The last story Going to Meet the Man… I wish I read it in one of my Lit classes so we could discuss and analyze it and grapple with it. This book is full of stories that you wish you had a classroom to discuss it with.
