Giovanni's Room is a novel by James Baldwin, first published in 1956. It is widely regarded as one of Baldwin's most important works. The story is set in Paris and follows David, an American man who is grappling with his sexual identity. David is in a relationship with Hella, but he becomes infatuated with Giovanni, an Italian bartender. Baldwin's prose in Giovanni's Room is poetic and deeply emotional, exploring the tension between personal desire and the fear of societal judgment. Ultimately, the novel is a powerful exploration of self-discovery, love, and the consequences of living a life in denial.
