Giovanni’s Room by 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.”

This is one of those books that have been sitting on my “to-read” list for ages, so I’m glad to finally pick it up. Looking forward to the discussion! :)
