Critical readings of James Baldwin's Giovanni Room have largely focused on what is considered its displacement of blackness unto whiteness in the form of the novel's white protagonist, David, and stage a sort of lynching party to search out and expose to the critical gaze the "absent black man" in the text. Only a few recent readings, beyond biographical surveys of expatriate writers, have considered expatriation outside of Baldwin's biography and essays, or seriously attempted to locate exile as a key theme and strategy in his fiction. Since, as Méral has noted, Paris is "closely linked with the first fictional attempts to deal with the subject of homosexuality" (223), there must be something about the city which is ripe as a setting for exploration of homosexual themes.
