Praise for Going To Meet The Man

If Van Gogh was our 19th century artist-saint then James Baldwin is our 20th century one

Michael Ondaatje

Baldwin refused to hold anyone’s hand. He was both direct and beautiful all at once. He did not seem to write to convince you. He wrote beyond you

Ta-Nehisi Coates
