Going to Meet the Man
by James Baldwin
Of the eight stories, I most liked the first two, which are really sketches for [b:Go Tell It on the Mountain|17143|Go Tell It on the Mountain|James Baldwin|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1348424233s/17143.jpg|1027995], and the gorgeous "Sonny's Blues", which doubles as persuasive jazz criticism from 1957 (a very productive moment!) The title story is a gutsy but formulaic effort to psychoanalyze a racist Southern sheriff. The others, in the context of Baldwin's career, were more productively framed elsewhere as essays, though none is without some moment of brilliant insight.
