James Baldwin's groundbreaking novel with a new introduction.

Giovanni's Room is set in the Paris of the 1950s, where a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and conventional morality. David has just proposed marriage to his American girlfriend, but while she is away on a trip he becomes involved in a doomed affair with a bartender named Giovanni. With sharp, probing insight, James Baldwin's classic narrative delves into the mystery of love and tells a deeply moving story that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.

One hundred years ago and so little has changed. I want to read it again and savor the language

Heartbreaking

I adore reading this type of thoughtful, deliberate writing. It's so fluid and eloquent. Matt Bomer did a bang up job. I haven't enjoyed a title this much in a long, long while.

Beautiful writing.

Giovanni’s room stands alone against the test of time as an extraordinary tale of the conflict many, myself included, have dealt with. Matt Bomer’s incredible performance gave this story a nuance I hadn’t seen before. At first a French pronunciation sounded a little off, but then I saw it as it was - through the lens of an American or Italian speaking French - and it gives it the proper color. I may just listen again.

Epic tale with an epic performance

For this book to be nearly 70 years old, a lot of these problems are still relevant to this day. Such a heartbreaking and tragic story. Hats off to Baldwin!

James Baldwin does a remarkable job in creating metaphors throughout this saga of homo and heterosexuality. Powerful book.

Matt Bomer's range of talent is evident in every piece of art of which he takes part. " Giovanni's Room" is no exception. His narration transports one into the story. Bien joué.

Outstanding Narration

Heart breaking, raw, and of course, beautifully written. Another banger from Baldwin. The narration was perfect, too. Trigger warning: This book makes you feel things.

When I say I love reading novels from a villain’s perspective this is what I mean.

Shame and Guilt

This is a beautiful book, written in 1956. Never before have I understood the strength of desire and the impossible place society demands of us.

Beautiful language and pacing - I couldn’t stop till it was done
