James Baldwin's Giovanni's Room "Not your typical Love story"

from Da Bruhs BookShelf · host Da Bruhs

On this podcast episode, the Bruhs discuss James Baldwin’s “Giovanni’s Room.” This tragic love story follows David, a man who struggles with balancing self-acceptance against the norms of society and ultimately leads him to lose the only person who loved him.  Set against a background of 1940's Paris, Baldwin skillfully binds us to these star-crossed lovers who can never be. We’re joined by one of the bruh’s daughters, Nikyya, who offers a fresh perspective on the tale.
