About this book
Mit ?Giovannis Zimmer? brach Baldwin gleich zwei Tabus: Als schwarzer Schriftsteller schrieb er über die Liebe zwischen zwei weissen Männern. Sein amerikanischer Verlag trennte sich daraufhin von ihm, seine Agentin riet ihm, er solle das Manuskript verbrennen. Heute gilt ?Giovannis Zimmer? als Baldwins berühmtester Roman.

About James Baldwin
James Arthur Baldwin was an American novelist, writer, playwright, poet, essayist and civil rights activist. Most of Baldwin's work deals with racial and sexual issues in the mid-20th century in the United States. His novels are notable for the personal way in which they explore questions of identity as well as the way in which they mine complex social and psychological pressures related to being black and homosexual well before the social, cultural or political equality of these groups was improved.
