Book 2 covers Baldwin’s young adult days to his thirties, between Paris and New York. We can guess how he struggled with his romantic relationships from his works. Also, how his financial struggles follow him as a new writer even after Giovanni’s Room.
Maybe because I have heard/seen many artists' journeys by now, this part felt underwhelming. I'm looking forward to learning more about his days in İstanbul.
