    <body><![CDATA[James Baldwin is simply great.  One can smell the Parisian room off the page in this incredible fast reading novel.  The novel takes place in 1950's Paris and it deals with the torn sexuality of a man loving another man - and dealing with it.  Not only essential read for those who are into African-American literature or gay lit - but just great writing.  Baldwin had it down and he nailed it down.]]></body>
