Episode notes

This chapter discusses the character Hella and her role in the novel, as well as the significance of Giovanni's room in the story. It explores how Hella serves as a reminder of the life the protagonist David believes would be easier for him, and how the room symbolizes the temporary nature of Giovanni's relationship with David.

If you want to read a book where a well-adjusted character responds well to questions about their own sexuality, Giovanni's Room ain't it! But its depiction of one character's internal conflict is still compelling and relevant decades after its release.

Our theme music was composed by Nick Lerangis.
