Jamees Baldwin

Radnja se ovog romana zbiva u Francuskoj, a riječ je o tragičnoj ljubavi između jednog mladog bijelog Amerikanca i njegova prijatelja Talijana. Naoko šokantna tema obrađena je vrlo umješno i tankoćutno…

Knjigu ‘Giovannijeva soba’ (1956) Baldwin je napisao u vrijeme kada je bilo malo romana koji su otvoreno obrađivali homoseksualnost, pa stoga njena pojava nije dobro primljena.
