Book Synopsis Going to Meet the Man by : James Baldwin
Download or read book Going to Meet the Man written by James Baldwin and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2013-09-17 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A major collection of short stories by one of America’s most important writers—informed by the knowledge the wounds racism leaves in both its victims and its perpetrators. • “If Van Gogh was our 19th-century artist-saint, James Baldwin is our 20th-century one.” —Michael Ondaatje, Booker Prize-winner of The English Patient In this modern classic, "there's no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it." The men and women in these eight short fictions grasp this truth on an elemental level, and their stories detail the ingenious and often desperate ways in which they try to keep their head above water. It may be the heroin that a down-and-out jazz pianist uses to face the terror of pouring his life into an inanimate instrument. It may be the brittle piety of a father who can never forgive his son for his illegitimacy. Or it may be the screen of bigotry that a redneck deputy has raised to blunt the awful childhood memory of the day his parents took him to watch a black man being murdered by a gleeful mob. By turns haunting, heartbreaking, and horrifying, Going to Meet the Man is a major work by one of our most important writers.

Book excerpt: African American short fiction can only be appreciated if read by first taking into account their multifarious responses to their contemporary political, economic, social and cultural circumstances. The stories presented in Writing from the Black Soul illustrate how in provocative ways African American writers from the second half of the nineteenth century onwards explored a number of themes that were relevant not only to the development of new and original literary traditions but also to the advancement of racial relationships in the post-slavery, segregated United States of their time.
