    <body><![CDATA[I have read this story so many times since I first discovered it in college in 1980. Rusty knife edged reality, with jazz as a vehicle for redemption. From the very beginning of this short story, James Baldwin makes you feel the claustrophobia of life lived in a ghetto. A life of low ceilings and cl...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/78253561">more...</a>]]></body>
