Going to Meet the Man: Stories"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
"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--and informed throughout by Baldwin's uncanny knowledge of the wounds racism has left in both its victims and its perpetrators--Going to Meet the Man is a major work by one of our most important writers.Binding Type: Paperback

Cool Caddy
Color: Hanging-silver
This is a cool little caddy, but it must have enough space around it, otherwise, it could easily get knocked off it's mounting bracket. The caddy body itself sits smoothly into two small arms that hold it up; however, it's not a snap on tight design, so if you knock it, it will easily dismantle into the sink. We have two small sinks, it works good for it, but must have it's own little space where there isn't too much movement around it. Jus saying, and the quality is good.

Good little rack for sink brushes and sponges.
Color: Suction cup-Black
A lightweight little rack, works just fine. It occasionally slides up out of the suction cups that connect it, hence the 4 star rating.

Looks good. Neat and out of the way.
Color: Suction cup-Black, Color: Suction cup-Black
The suction cups didn’t stick to my sink, but the plastic strip adhered well. My husband didn’t even notice it on our sink for half a day. That was the look I was going for!
