Giovanni's Room

James Baldwin

earliest edition we have, 1956 Joseph, 1982 248 pages

A Laurel book

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.
