Giovanni's Room

內容簡介

內容簡介 Set among the bohemian bars and nightclubs of 1950s Paris, this groundbreaking novel about love and the fear of love is a book that belongs in the top rank of fiction (The Atlantic). In the 1950s Paris of American expatriates, liaisons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. David is a young American expatriate who has just proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Hella. While she is away on a trip, David meets a bartender named Giovanni to whom he is drawn in spite of himself. Soon the two are spending the night in Giovanni's curtainless room, which he keeps dark to protect their privacy. But Hella's return to Paris brings the affair to a crisis, one that rapidly spirals into tragedy. David struggles for self-knowledge during one long, dark night--"the night which is leading me to the most terrible morning of my life." With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a deeply moving story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.【迷誠品編輯推薦】標題｜2026酷兒必讀書單！編輯推薦「10本劃時代同志文學」看見那些得來不易的日常撰文｜迷誠品內容中心六月「同志驕傲月」一起來聊聊平等與尊重，希望每個人的獨特性，都不再是內化的社會壓力，而是本來就不需要解釋的理所當然。身為亞洲首個同婚合法化的國家，台灣今年已悄悄邁入同婚合法化的第八年。時間漸漸洗去過去的標籤與偏見，成為我們的日常。這個月編輯們精選10本推薦書籍，願這些經典文學能讓你好好擁抱自己，也帶你走進更多人的生命故事裡。☞點此進入迷誠品閱讀文章

作者介紹

作者介紹 JAMES BALDWIN (1924-1987) was a novelist, essayist, playwright, poet, and social critic. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain, appeared in 1953 to excellent reviews, and his essay collections Notes of a Native Son and The Fire Next Time were bestsellers that made him an influential figure in the growing civil rights movement. Baldwin spent much of his life in France, where he moved to escape the racism and homophobia of the United States. He died in France in 1987, a year after being made a Commander of the French Legion of Honor.
