Ebook About Set among the bohemian bars and nightclubs of 1950s Paris, this groundbreaking novel about love and the fear of love is "a book that belongs in the top rank of fiction" (The Atlantic). In the 1950s Paris of American expatriates, liaisons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. David is a young American expatriate who has just proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Hella. While she is away on a trip, David meets a bartender named Giovanni to whom he is drawn in spite of himself. Soon the two are spending the night in Giovanni’s curtainless room, which he keeps dark to protect their privacy. But Hella’s return to Paris brings the affair to a crisis, one that rapidly spirals into tragedy. David struggles for self-knowledge during one long, dark night—“the night which is leading me to the most terrible morning of my life.” With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a deeply moving story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.Book Giovanni's Room (Vintage International) Review :
I’m glad to have finally read this important work. After all these years, the basic societal and political ideas expressed are still apropos today. Yet I’m compelled to imagine how the reader reacted when Giovanni's Room was first published, decades ago. Did the themes have a different significance? Was it a book one might read when everyone else had gone to bed? The relationships were likely considered sensational except for how deftly Baldwin dealt with the subject matter, on the most subtle level.In many places during those time the risk of harassment and arrest, combined with a diagnosis of mental illness, likely clouded over what could have been honorable and lovely life experiences for young men, such as in the beginning of the book when David woke and observed his friend Joey still asleep.Now that the world is not so cruel, at least here in the West, where society is less apt to treat the Giovanni's and the Joey's as something akin to zoo animals, and more like human beings, capable of innocence and passion, perhaps a character like David would embrace and celebrate his knowing these two, instead of reacting to an inevitable sense of revulsion he was taught to feel. As it was, an unkind separation from David might have been Joey’s good fortune, unlike Giovanni's fateful end after investing so much time together.Since there were no words like homophobia sixty years ago and society had not come to terms with how two men might love each other, I wonder why Baldwin knew to write Giovanni’s Room. He may have lived some of David’s dishonesty; but did he also have his own “Joey” experience, where he found himself in the arms of a friend one night, a friend who then walked away and turned on him? I ponder whether he processed some pain by writing about this character David, a character that rained collateral damage on Joey, Giovanni, and Hella, and in the end had to face the consequences of what he had wrought as dawn signaled his return to Paris, and to a circle of life that began the morning he forced himself to walk out of Joey’s house in Brooklyn, away from a friend that deep inside he might run back to in an instant if the world had been a different place. The writing is so good that I found myself occasionally pausing and wondering just how James Baldwin constructed such beautiful sentences. He has a unique style with a unique way of sentence structure that took a VERY brief moment to get into, but once I did I found the text flowing beautifully as if I was on a literary boat ride moving up and down with the swells. There was a lot of pathos in the story and the characters were fully fleshed out. It is remarkable that this book was written in the early fifties. The description on the back of the book is slightly misleading in that it is not really a love triangle (that phrase is not stated, but implied) as much as a story about two men, one of which has a not present fiancee who is only tangentially important to the story. I would absolutely recommend this book to anyone who appreciates beautifully written, well thought out plots with engaging characters.
