Homosexuality In Giovanni's Room By James Baldwin

James Baldwin’s, Giovanni’s Room, talks about an American man, named David, who struggles to reveal his true sexuality. In the story Baldwin explores the relationship between homosexuality, society’s opinion and shame and also a mental ideological prison. The narrator of this story is an American born in San Francisco named David, 27, who chose to go to Paris on the grounds that his nation could no more satisfy his needs.
