lunabbly 's review for:
Going to Meet the Man
by James Baldwin
After reading Go Tell It on the Mountain, Another Country, and Giovanni's Room, I was not expecting Baldwin to tie in some stories and weave various the storylines of some of his previous work as well as personal life and affairs. I thought it was really lovely and unlike many books, provided much needed closure since there are no more James Baldwin books at the library for me to check out, although I think I'll be purchasing more from/about James Baldwin in the near future.
I also hadn't realized that I would finish the series of short stories in this book in a single day, but I had to devour it. Each page gave me closure, which was a relief still with a tinge of sadness. Just a fair warning, there is a graphic description of a lynching so might want to skip the second (?) story about Eric if that's a trigger for you.
