Czytam te paryską historię i nie opuszcza mnie myśl, że w ciągu ostatnich 50 lat normy obyczajowe przeszły prawdziwą rewolucję. Kiedy Baldwin złożył book from the publisher, heard that he should destroy it, because otherwise it would lose readers. Black writer, invented the white characters because, in addition homosexual. Yes, in 1956 it could be a problem. But "My Giovanni" appeared, and, moreover, has won acclaim.
Today no moral scandal would fall outside the game, remains as a beautiful and tragic love story. Also, about loyalty and responsibility in the relationship. On problems with identity. Because unless this can be explained by lack of determination with David, who is not able to pronounce. Until the end remains unclear whether the love of Giovanni, or his girlfriend. Or maybe just played them, so it may be convenient. David is a very interesting way of his literary hero: complex, escapes easily evaluated.
charm of this book is also an interesting narrative and carried on creating evocative images of life in Paris. This is a story told with charm and refinement, and with feeling. Of the species of those who knock the reader long after finishing reading it. Definitely worth recommending.
