(  )drugfiend | Nov 13, 2008 |   wookiebender | Jul 20, 2008 | Amazing book, considering the culture of the time, and well written as well! ( )livrecache | Jun 23, 2008 | I'd heard about this book for a long time before I managed to acquire a copy in Paris over the summer. Beautifully written and heartbreakingly sad, perhaps James Baldwin's bravest and finest work. (  )lara_aine | Nov 17, 2007 | My favourite of all Baldwin's writing. Giovanni's Room deals not just with a man coming to terms with his sexuality, but with the issues of race and country and with the ideas of prejudice and hatred.

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0141186356, Paperback)Set in the 1950s Paris of American expatriates, liaisons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.(retrieved from Amazon Fri, 24 Apr 2009 07:58:12 -0400) The first test round has been closed.
