# Step inside Giovanni’s Room

James Baldwin joins Folio with Giovanni’s Room – a novel that changed the conversation around love, identity and belonging when it was first published and still resonates just as powerfully today. This book has been carefully designed to reflect the intimacy of the story, from the yellow cloth spine and compact scale to Lela Harris’s expressive charcoal portraits of David and Giovanni. Hilton Als contributes a moving introduction that brings fresh insight to Baldwin’s legacy and this extraordinary novel. Giovanni’s Room is a remarkable novel and we’re so pleased to be sharing it with Folio readers.
