Giovanni's Room
It is hard to discuss James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room and not address the basic truth this thin novel, distributed in 1956, is primarily a romantic tale between two men. It appears to be difficult to think a wonder such as this could be distributed pre-Stonewall, yet such is the virtuoso of Baldwin and the way he catches the complexities of want, love, and the heartbreaking cost that originates from not following your heart. "Some individual… ought to have disclosed to us that relatively few individuals have ever kicked the bucket of affection. Yet, hoards have died… for its absence." This passionate ponder of a book boils down to two things: love and demise. What's more, truly, what else is there throughout everyday life? – jackson
