• 'Until I die there will be those moments
• Moments seeming to rise up out of the ground like Macbeth’s witches
• When his face will come before me
• That face in all its changes
• When the exact timbre of his voice and tricks of his speech will nearly burst my ears
• When his smell will overpower my nostrils
• 'Giovanni's Room is set in the Paris of the 1950s
• Where a young American expatriate finds himself caught between his repressed desires and conventional morality
• David has just proposed marriage to his American girlfriend
• But while she is away on a trip he becomes involved in a doomed affair with a bartender named Giovanni
