Good book. An influential book of its time.
I enjoy reading about a side of lgbt+ I maybe haven't really read before. Paris in 1960s ish.
I felt the characters had a lot of depth and you connect to them but also become angry at them. They most definitely aren't perfect. I feel the author added this to the characters beautifully.
James Balwin the author is an amazing intreting man who deserves to be remembered more than his is currently.
Enjoyed the read, would recommend.
