Giovanni's Room

(1 review)

Considered an 'audacious' second novel, GIOVANNI'S ROOM is set in the 1950s Paris of American expatriates, liaisons, and violence. This now-classic story of a fated love triangle explores, with uncompromising clarity, the conflicts between desire, conventional morality and sexual identity.

Gossamerchild@bookwyrm.social reviewed Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin (Penguin Modern Classics)

5.0 stars

I cannot believe I haven't read anything by Baldwin until now. This was stunning. Difficult to read at times, but really truly spectacular.
