"Giovanni's Room" is basically about the complex representations of homosexuality and bisexuality. It is said that when Baldwin completed the manuscript and brought it to the publisher, the publisher told Baldwin to burn the book because it was primarily about homosexuality, a romantic relationship between two men. It is said that during that period, the author was already fighting against the racial prejudices. Having written a book on homosexuality, he was supposed to anger his readers both black and white. The publisher thought that the author would be further alienated from his audience.
