Giovanni's Room - (a Peach favourite)

- James Baldwin

( Paperback )


Set in the 1950s, David meets the elusive, bohemian Giovanni in a Parisian gay bar. Through their affair Baldwin explores social attitudes towards gay and bisexual love and desire. More importantly, he holds a magnifying glass up to the impact this has on gay and bi people themselves. At times heartbreaking, but always lyrical and moving, Baldwin writes with an unrivalled elegance.
