A review by beforethefever
Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin

i understand why this book is a classic, it’s beautifully written & was so easy & enjoyable to read, so many themes were explored relating to gender & it’s norms for both men & women, sexuality & class, & the isolation, restrictions & conflict that they all can bring.

i heard of this book from it being mentioned in Swimming in the Dark by Tomasz Jedrowski which is also a great book.
