Check out Claire's music, art, and writing here: www.claireakebrandart.com I chat with Claire about James Baldwin's novel Giovanni's Room. We swoon over a few of its best passages and reflect on some of its major themes: sexuality, masculinity, love and romance, Americans' strange concept of time, how to say "yes" to life, sources of hope, and much more.
