Giovanni's Room | James A Baldwin

Mehso-so

Considering when this was published, I think it is impressive what Baldwin tried to do. That being said, it didn‘t really do it for me. The first half was a bit boring, choppy and it felt like entire passages were cut away, because at times I didn‘t know how the story moved from a to b. The characters felt like charicatures (the melodramatic, the flat woman, the man in denial), and I couldn‘t care about any of them.
