Review of republished version of Giovanni’s Room, by Black Swan.

‘Two novels making welcome re-appearances in paperback are The Conquerors by Andre Malraux (Journeyman, £3.75) and Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin (Black Swan, £1.95). The latter still remains probably the classic gay novel 27 years after its first publication’.
