Title: Going to Meet the Man Author: James Baldwin Narrator: Dion Graham Format: Unabridged Length: 7 hrs and 48 mins Language: English Release date: 02-08-11 Publisher: Blackstone Audio, Inc. Ratings: 4.5 of 5 out of 113 votes Genres: Fiction, Short Stories & Anthologies Publisher's Summary: "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, as told by James Baldwin, detail the ingenious and often desperate ways in which they try to keep their heads 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.
