Description
In a 1950s Paris characterized by dangerous liaisons and hidden violence, an American proposes to a young woman. But he falls into a lengthy affair with an Italian bartender and is confounded by his sexuality as he oscillates between the two. Examining the mystery of love and passion in a novel that's both moving and complex, James Baldwin writes about death and desire.
