![]() ![]() ![]() Though this is never confirmed to have been what happened, I think it was Baldwin’s way of telling readers how it happened. David, who by this stage has broken up with Giovanni and went back to Hella, imagines that when he went to get his job back he slept with Guillaume in order to do so but then Guillaume decided not to give him the job back. He fires Giovanni in the book and when Giovanni goes to get his job back he murders Guillaume and is sentenced to death. Giovanni’s boss Guillaume, later former boss, is a sexual harasser and has sexual feelings for Giovanni. David has proposed to Hella but then she leaves him and goes to Spain and that’s when he meets Giovanni. The plot follows the story of the narrator David and the title character Giovanni and their love story. Giovanni’s Room (1956) by James Baldwin is a gorgeously crafted book. ![]()
