uriah's review against another edition
3.0
As someone who fleetingly read Giovanni's Room 8 years ago and then proceeded to add all of Baldwin's back catalogue to his TBR and then never picked any up, this book provides a very real emotional human connection to Baldwin. Professor Glaude's writing paints a searing image of Jimmy and in doing so shows us how he still stands to be relevant.
