1. James Baldwin - Giovannis Zimmer / Giovannis Room - LESELUST-Rezension Rezension von Daniela Ecker in der Leselust. http://www.die-leselust.de/buch/baldwin_james_zimmer.htm

James Baldwin - Giovannis Zimmer Originaltitel: Giovannis Room Roman. Rowohlt Verlag 1963 140 Seiten, ISBN: 3499109999 Er sitzt in einem Ferienhaus in Südfrankreich und wartet darauf, dass diese Nacht zu Ende geht. Helen, seine Verlobte, hat ihn vor ein paar Tagen verlassen, nachdem er ihr die ganze Wahrheit erzählt hatte, ihr endlich von seiner großen Schuld am Leben eines anderen Menschen gebeichtet hatte. Helen wollte sich erst darüber klar werden, ob sie ihn wirklich heiraten wollte, und war zu diesem Zweck für einige Zeit aus Paris weggegangen. Alleine zurückgelassen, von seinem Vater nicht im gewünschten Maße mit Geld versorgt, wendet David sich an einen alten Bekannten, dessen Blicke er sehr wohl zu deuten weiß, aber mit völliger Selbstverständlichkeit zurückweist. An einem Abend in der Bar treffen sie auf einen neuen Kellner - der sofort das Interesse Davids Bekannten weckt. Doch auch David kann diesmal seine Wünsche nicht verbergen - wie magisch fühlt er sich von Giovanni angezogen, und doch hat er Angst, plötzlich all seine mühsam errichteten Barrikaden fallen zu sehen. Er zieht mit ein in Giovannis Zimmer, lebt mit ihm, liebt ihn - bis Helen zurückkommt. Ohne sich auch nur zu verabschieden lässt er ihn zurück...

James Baldwin About the Author November 29th, 2006 James Baldwin About the Author Although he spent a great deal of his life abroad, James Baldwin always remained a quintessentially American writer. Whether he was working in Paris or Istanbul, he never ceased to reflect on his experience as a black man in white America. In numerous essays, novels, plays, and public speeches, the eloquent voice of James Baldwin spoke of the pain and struggle of black Americans and the saving power of brotherhood. After working for a short while with the railroad, Baldwin moved to Greenwich Village, where he came into contact with the well-known writer Richard Wright. Baldwin worked for a number of years as a freelance writer, working primarily on book reviews. Though Baldwin had not yet finished a novel, Wright helped to secure him a grant with which he could support himself as a writer in Paris. So, in 1948 Baldwin left for Paris, where he would find enough distance from the American society he grew up in to write about it. After writing a number of pieces that were published in various magazines, Baldwin went to Switzerland to finish his first novel.

James Baldwin, through novels, essays, social criticism, and drama, explored the American condition in a new language of unmatched depth, passion, and surgical precision. His works' potential for transforming both the American consciousness and conscience is still just beginning to be registered. Baldwin's excavation of America emerged at a crucial moment in our collective history, and, ten years after his death, the questions he raised continue to resonate with the hope and despairand to take the defining shapehis voice gave to them.

11. James Baldwin JAMES BALDWIN. James Arthur Baldwin was born in Harlem, New York City, Aug. 2, 1924 and died on Nov. 30, 1987. He offered a vital literary voice during the era of civil rights http://www.uic.edu/depts/quic/history/james_baldwin.html

JAMES BALDWIN James Arthur Baldwin was born in Harlem, New York City, Aug. 2, 1924 and died on Nov. 30, 1987. He offered a vital literary voice during the era of civil rights activism in the 1950s and '60s. The eldest of nine children, his stepfather was a minister. At age 14 , Baldwin became a preacher at the small Fireside Pentecostal Church in Harlem. After he graduated from high school, he moved to Greenwich Village. In the early 1940s, he transferred his faith from religion to literature. Critics, however, note the impassioned cadences of Black churches are still evident in his writing. Go Tell It on the Mountain (1953), his first novel, is a partially autobiographical account of his youth. His essay collections [ Notes of a Native Son Nobody Knows My Name (1961), and The Fire Next Time (1963)] were influential in informing a large white audience. From 1948, Baldwin made his home primarily in the south of France, but often returned to the USA to lecture or teach. In 1957, he began spending half of each year in New York City. His novels include Giovanni's Room (1956), about a white American expatriate who must come to terms with his homosexuality, and
