The book tells the story of David, a young American, who is searching for himself in Paris while his fiancée Hera wanders alone in Spain. David meets an Italian bartender named Giovanni in Guillaume's bar. Giovanni awakens David's desires and David enters Giovanni's room, which is small, disordered and far from the city. From the beginning of the novel, we know that David has abandoned Giovanni, that Hera has returned to the United States, and that Giovanni has been sentenced to death for killing the bar owner. Baldwin moves freely on the timeline, and David swings back and forth between men and women.
