Description

A beautiful new Clothbound edition of Baldwin s ground-breaking novel, which established him as one of the great American writers of his time


Audacious... remarkable... elegant and courageous Caryl Phillips

Exquisite, a feat of fire-breathing, imaginative daring Guardian

David, a young American in 1950s Paris, is waiting for his fiancée to return from vacation in Spain. But when he meets Giovanni, a handsome Italian barman, the two men are drawn into an intense affair. After three months David s fiancée returns and, denying his sexuality, he rejects Giovanni for a safe future as a married man - a decision that will bring tragedy, longing and regret.

Gorgeous, fearless, tempered by dark knowledge and pain ... the greatest American prose stylist of his generation Colm Tóibín

A layered exploration of queer desire ... It is electric Hilton Als

About the Author

James Baldwin was born in 1924 in New York. His first novel, Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), which evokes his experiences as a boy preacher in Harlem, was an immediate success. Baldwin’s second novel, Giovanni s Room (1956) has become a landmark of gay literature and Another Country (1962) caused a literary sensation. His searing essay collections Notes of a Native Son (1955) and Nobody Knows My Name (1961) contain many of the works that made him an influential figure in the Civil Rights Movement. Baldwin published several other collections of non-fiction, including The Fire Next Time (1963) and No Name in the Street (1972). His short stories are collected in Going to Meet the Man (1965). His later works include the novels Tell Me How Long the Train s Been Gone (1968), If Beale Street Could Talk (1974) and Just Above My Head (1979).

James Baldwin won a number of literary fellowships: a Eugene F. Saxon Memorial Trust Award, a Rosenwald Fellowship, a Guggenheim Fellowship, a Partisan Review Fellowship and a Ford Foundation grant. He was made a Commander of the Legion of Honour in 1986. He died in 1987 in France
