The Reading Circle: Giovanni’s Room

Topic: Giovanni’s Room

Description: Set in the contemporary Paris of American expatraites, liasons, and violence, a young man finds himself caught between desire and conventional morality. James Baldwin’s brilliant narrative delves into the mystery of loving with a sharp, probing imagination, and he creates a moving, highly controversial story of death and passion that reveals the unspoken complexities of the heart.

Area: Conference Room 

Program Description: Welcome to The Reading Circle, where we turn pages AND heads! From books to bops to big-screen brilliance, we explore the stories shaping queer culture. Pull up a chair, bring your faves, your opinions, and join the conversation about the stories that keep our community so iconic.
