Giovanni's Room

This novel by James Baldwin was published and started all sorts of controversy. It was, after all, the 1950s, so queer themes were scandalizing. Don't look for a happy ending in this one.

Here is a link to a piece I used as a reference in the Guardian. My other source is of course, the work itself! Go to your local library and take a gander at this lovely book.
