A review by virgosrising
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

This book will always be unbelievably special to me - it's the book that made me fall back in love with reading and writing as a teenager. It still holds that beauty to me - Baldwin's prose is as enthralling as ever. I don't know that I enjoyed the story itself as much this time, though I understand it a lot better now than I did then. Perhaps a little heavy handed at times. Either way, a beautiful novel that will never leave me.
