We hope you can join us for a discussion of James Baldwin's groundbreaking novel, Giovanni's Room, which explores love, identity, and exile with emotional and moral intensity.

About the Book
Set in the contemporary Paris of American expatriates, liasons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. James Baldwin's brilliant narrative delves into the mystery of loving with a sharp, probing imagination, and he creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the heart.
