A beautiful new Clothbound edition of Baldwin's ground-breaking novel, which established him as one of the great American writers of his time'Audacious... remarkable... elegant and courageous' Caryl Phillips'Exquisite, a feat of fire-breathing, imaginative daring' Guardian David, a young American in 1950s Paris, is waiting for his fiancee to return from vacation in Spain. But when he meets Giovanni, a handsome Italian barman, the two men are drawn into an intense affair. After three months David's fiancee returns and, denying his sexuality, he rejects Giovanni for a 'safe' future as a married man — a decision that will bring tragedy, longing and regret. 'Gorgeous, fearless, tempered by dark knowledge and pain ... the greatest American prose stylist of his generation' Colm Toibin 'A layered exploration of queer desire ... It is electric' Hilton Als
