James Baldwin's "Giovanni's Room" impressed me both for its exploration of love, sex, and sexual identity and for the skill with which the author has the narrative unfold; I was gripped from beginning to end.
Although the protagonist is white, I know that some critics believe that the theme of race is obliquely present by virtue of the salience of various kinds of minority identity throughout the novel.
Quite aside from it being a "good read", I would recommend it to anybody interested in the literary treatment of bisexuality.
Expatriation also figures as an important theme. These words hit home with this migrant:
>> You don't have a home until you leave it and then, when you have left it, you never can go back. <<
"Home", of course, can be more than a geographical location.
