David is a young American expatriate who has just proposed marriage to his girlfriend, Hella. While she is away on a trip, David meets a bartender named Giovanni to whom he is drawn in spite of himself. Soon the two are spending the night in Giovanni's curtainless room, which he keeps dark to protect their privacy. But Hella's return to Paris brings the affair to a crisis, one that rapidly spirals into tragedy. David struggles for self-knowledge during one long, dark night -- "the night which is leading me to the most terrible morning of my life." With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative delves into the mystery of loving and creates a deeply moving story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart.]]></description><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C3683336</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C3683336</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2000 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3683336075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780385334587/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giovanni's Room]]></title><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C2315556</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C2315556</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 1956 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2315556075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle>A Novel</subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giovanni's Room]]></title><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C2321845</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C2321845</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 1984 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2321845075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780552990363/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giovanni's Room]]></title><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C2502896</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C2502896</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sat, 31 Jan 1959 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/2502896075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url/></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giovanni's Room]]></title><description><![CDATA[<b>James Baldwin’s groundbreaking novel whose frank exploration of sexuality and self-acceptance was decades ahead of its time—named one of <i>The Atlantic</i>’s Great American Novels of the past 100 years</b><br><b> </b><br><b>“Baldwin writes . . . with unusual candor and yet with such dignity and intensity.”—<i>The New York Times</i></b><br>In 1950s Paris, a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and conventional morality.

The action of this short novel spans a single day in Johns life, and yet manages to encompass on an epic scale his familys troubled past and his own inchoate longings for the future, set against a shining vision of a city where he both does and does not belong. Baldwins story illuminates the racism his characters face as well as the double-edged role religion plays in their lives, both oppressive and inspirational."--]]></description><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C8413209</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C8413209</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 31 Jan 2016 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/8413209075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9781101907610/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go Tell It on the Mountain]]></title><description><![CDATA[The story of John, a fourteen-year-old boy whose stepfather is a Pentecostal minister in Harlem in 1935, as he struggles to discover his own identity.]]></description><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7975755</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C7975755</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 31 Jan 2013 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/7975755075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780345806543/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go Tell It on the Mountain]]></title><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C3290413</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C3290413</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 31 Jan 2005 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/3290413075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=0385334575/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go Tell It on the Mountain]]></title><link>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C1463805</link><guid isPermaLink="true">https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/v2/record/S75C1463805</guid><category><![CDATA[BK]]></category><category><![CDATA[eng]]></category><dc:creator><![CDATA[Baldwin, James]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Tue, 31 Jan 1995 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><comments>https://mpl.bibliocommons.com/item/comment/1463805075</comments><format>BK</format><subtitle></subtitle><language>eng</language><image_url>https://secure.syndetics.com/index.aspx?isbn=9780679601548/MC.GIF&amp;client=notsobplp&amp;type=xw12&amp;oclc=</image_url></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go Tell It on the Mountain]]></title><description><![CDATA[Describes a day in the life of several members of a Harlem fundamentalist church.

Their families set out to clear his name, and as they face an uncertain future, the young lovers experience a kaleidoscope of emotions: affection, despair, and hope.
