Giovanni's Room
James Baldwin
Set in the contemporary Paris of American expatraites, liasons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. James Baldwin's brilliant narrative delves into the mystery of loving with a sharp, probing imagination, and he creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the heart.
Publication Year: 1956
I always find something new to relish when rereading this treasure of a book
0Baldwin has an interesting writing style. The scenes with the MC and his father are written in such a way that they feel like they accentuate the nature of their relationship. Baldwin paints a very vivid picture of this scene, in such a way that it has me think a bit about my own father, kinda.
