Giovanni's Room

By James Baldwin

About this book

In Paris, an American named David begins a relationship with Giovanni while his fiancée is away. Looking back as Giovanni faces execution, David sorts through the fears and choices that brought them to this point. The novel gives loneliness, desire, and the pressure to appear respectable the same careful attention it gives to love.
