Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

5.0

This book is about self hatred, loathing, an unsafe world, and the ability of people to be many many ways and things. Baldwin captures the environment and each well developed character while taking such a risk at the time it was written to write about queer characters. It is captivating and haunting and does not leave you feeling good in the end. But, it is definitely a read worth experiencing.
