30-Somethings Book Club – Giovanni’s Room
August 5 @ 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm
Gather for a meeting of the 30-Somethings Book Club (give or take a decade) to discuss Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. This groundbreaking American classic offers a frank exploration of sexuality and self-acceptance that was decades ahead of its time, earning it a spot as one of The Atlantic’s Great American Novels of the past 100 years.
Set in 1950s Paris, the novel follows David, a young American expatriate caught between repressed desires and conventional morality. Having just proposed to his American girlfriend, David finds himself swept into a doomed, intense affair with a bartender named Giovanni while she is away on a trip.
