MEETING #1: Giovanni's Room (1956) by James Baldwin
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.
