Giovanni's Room

It's Not A Book Club Podcast

T̶o̶x̶i̶c̶ Love is in the air!
James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room is centred in the 'suave' Parisian inner city, and focuses on the events of an American man's complicated feelings and frustrations with his relationships with other women and men in his life, most notably an Italian bartender named Giovanni.
Written in 1956, Baldwin's literary (initially controversial) classic delves into the complexities of love and sexuality, it's intersection with cultural norms and the impact of death, deceit and passion in the confines of both sexual and platonic relationships.
Tune in and listen to Reuben, Zach and Kehinde debate about the intricacies of love and Baldwin's approach to character development and world building. Also, the guys oversharing...again!
