“You want to be clean. You think you came here covered with soap and you think you will go out covered with soap—and you do not want to stink, not even for five minutes, in the meantime.’ He grasped me by the collar, wrestling and caressing at once, fluid and iron at once: saliva spraying from his lips and his eyes full of tears, but with the bones of his face showing and the muscles leaping in his arms and neck. ‘You want to leave Giovanni because he makes you stink. You want to despise Giovanni because he is not afraid of the stink of love. ”
好绝望的书
fate.经常想如果当初david选择和giovanni留在他的房间是不是就不会以惨剧告终。但其实一切在一开始就已经被决定。或许是从第一次不敢面对自己而嘲弄joey，又或许是从一出生就无法改变。他从来就没有正视过自己究竟想要什么，在giovanni的房间像是在污浊的水里挣扎，每一天都更迷惘并绝望。

虽然是本同志文学，但它绝不止于此……绝对是对人性的剖析…惊喜的喜欢又厌恶的主人公…这是一本特别少有的让我感觉和主人公心意相通的小说…但他的恐惧和逃避导致了悲剧…虽然我不会有他那样的恐惧…（我没有非主流性向……）但恐怕也不是毫无别的恐惧…可是我看到他们在酒吧初见的那一章…Giovanni如果真有其人…...
