This chapter delves into the book 'Giovanni's Room' by James Baldwin, discussing themes of identity and Americanism. They analyze the relationship between the two main characters and examine the cultural commentary provided by Giovanni. The chapter also explores how David grapples with his own perception of his American identity.
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.
