Books like O quarto de Giovanni by James Baldwin


Lançado em 1956, o segundo romance de James Baldwin é uma obra-prima da literatura americana. Com pinceladas autobiográficas, o livro trata de uma relação bissexual ao acompanhar David, um jovem americano em Paris à espera de sua namorada, Hella, que por sua vez está na Espanha. Enquanto ela pondera se deve ou não se casar com David, ele conhece Giovanni, um garçom italiano por quem se apaixona. Se em O sol também se levanta Ernest Hemingway retrata um grupo de americanos em uma Paris boêmia e fervilhante, O quarto de Giovanni explora, na mesma cidade, as agruras de personagens que enfrentam o vazio existencial ao perceber a fragilidade dos laços e as frustrações de seus desejos. Com tradução de Paulo Henriques Britto, o livro inclui apresentação de Colm Tóibín e posfácio de Hélio Menezes.
