Abstract

James Baldwin, a novelist, essayist, playwright and social critic, is one of the most appreciated writers of America. He was one of the first American writers and, black writer, to portray homosexuality. Baldwin contends over time novel Giovanni's Room that a legit feeling of one's sex and sexuality must be accomplished through an individual excursion that includes something other than development starting with one point then onto the next; it should likewise prompt a change inside and an acknowledgment of self. In Giovanni's Room (1956), the principal character David voyages an excursion without self-awareness and acknowledgment. A white, gay man, David winds up caught in a white, straight, manly American ideal which doesn't characterize him. He spends the novel attempting to beat and reject his past and that part of his sex personality which he wishes to overlook. Baldwin sets up self-reflection to be the main method for making a sex character that can offset acknowledgment with self-creation. Baldwin's accepts that each American should attempt a genuine excursion of self-revelation to set up a comprehensive rather than restrictive sex personality.
