Editor’s Note
  1. Sophia Schoepfer, Editor
First published almost 70 years ago, Giovanni's Room is a literary masterpiece and an essential work of queer fiction. It is by turns deeply moving, bitterly heartbreaking and formative.In this Folio edition, an introduction by the erudite writer and critic Hilton Als sheds light on the novel's themes and its characters, its flaws and its beauty – and the life and mind of the author behind it. The story of David and Giovanni is rendered in intimate and expressive charcoal illustrations by the artist Lela Harris. A study of Paris by night, tender portraits and a dining room still life – newspapers, wine bottles and all – capture the essence of this modern classic.

Having read Baldwin's iconic novel decades ago in a dog eared paperback edition, I was delighted to see that Folio deemed it worthy of creating a fitting tribute by adding the title to its collection. I am pleased by the feel of the book in hand as well as the rich black and white illustrations by Lela Harris. The introduction by Hilton Als provides background and insight that bring the novel and the author into focus.

I never expected to find Baldwin published by FS, and am delighted with the production which honours him well. The illustrations on the box and in the text are perfect. Size of volume, font, couldn’t be better. If there is anything missing it would be a B&W photograph of the author, but that is uncommon for FS books.
