Publisher Description A haunting collection of short stories by one of the greatest writers of the 20th centuryTheres no way not to suffer. But you try all kinds of ways to keep from drowning in it.The eight stories in this collection showcase the breadth of Baldwins imagination, empathy and social critique as he explores the subtle and profound wounds that discrimination leaves in both its victims and its perpetrators- from the down-and-out jazz pianist recovering from addiction in Sonnys Blues to the adolescent who hides his burgeoning sexuality from the church community that defines his world in The Outing to the horrifying story of the initiation of a racist, as a deputy sheriff remembers his parents taking him to see the mutilation and murder of a black man by a gleeful mob in Going to Meet the Man.First published in 1965, these tales of ingenuity, desperation, power and fear provide a snapshot of a writer at the height of his literary powers. Author Biography James Baldwin was born in 1924 in New York. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), which evokes his experiences as a boy preacher in Harlem, was an immediate success.

His searing essay collections Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961) contain many of the works that made him an influential figure in the Civil Rights Movement.
