Join me on Wednesday, June 17th (pride month!) at 7pm EST to discuss the iconic queer novella Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin. The novella begins in the 1950s as David, an American ex-pat living in France, thinks about his ex-fiancée Hella’s return trip to the United States, while his ex-lover, an Italian immigrant named Giovanni, is set to be executed in the morning. In our discussion, we’ll contrast the modern queer experience with Baldwin’s understanding from the 1950s — and reflect on the consequences of denying inner truths.
