When we asked which authors you wanted to see in Folio form, James Baldwin came through loud and clear. So we’re thrilled to share the news: Giovanni’s Room is arriving on 3 June – and here’s your first glimpse.
Thoughtfully designed to reflect the intimacy of the novel, the book is quarterbound with a yellow cloth spine and sized like a private journal. The slipcase shows an abstract painting of the Paris apartment, while charcoal portraits of David and Giovanni appear on the binding – the two men held within the ‘room’ of the case itself.
Baldwin’s writing is lyrical, fearless and seminal – and we’ve designed this book to honour all of that. We can’t wait to share it with you in full this June.
