With a sharp, probing imagination, James Baldwin's now-classic narrative GIOVANNI'S ROOM delves into the mystery of loving and creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the human heart. THIS MONTH'S THEME: Queering Blackness: confronting issues of race and class in "The Community." AUTHOR DESCRIPTION: James Baldwin (1924-1987) was at once a major twentieth century American author, a Civil Rights activist and, for two crucial decades, a prophetic voice calling Americans, black and white, to confront their shared racial tragedy.Towards the end of his life, as America turned its back on the challenge of racial justice, Baldwin became frustrated but rarely bitter. He kept writing and reaching in the strengthened belief that : "All men are brothers - That's the bottom line."
