A review by _jemmmma
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

5.0

I finished this last night and I’ve felt so moved and genuinely in ore over Baldwins writing. (first book I’ve read of his and won’t be the last)

What a heartbreakingly beautifully written book. I don’t think I’m capable of writing a review that would even do it justice…

I found it to be very similar to the works of Dostoyevsky and the protagonist feeling ‘trapped’ (not only often physically but mentally, too.)
