Another Country by James Baldwin
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
5.0
it took me so long to read this but i really did love it. there were times when i was like omg this is so long, but i’m so glad i read it. it’s not as digestible and attention grabbing as giovanni’s room, but it is so so so good. <i love how the first “book” is like a prequel to the other books?? like idk if you get it you get it>
