He was good friends with G³lriz Sururi at the time. G³lriz even wrote about a game they worked on together in one of her books. When he visited the country, he welcomed Engin Cezzar. The character in Giovanni's Room is exaggerated and could be easily dressed up as if for a costume party. If someone asked what his character was, he would say he was a gay person who couldn't accept himself.

In 1924, a son was born to a black priest in New York. He wrote novels such as "Go Tell it on the Mountains", "Giovanni's Room", "Another Country", the essay "The Fire Next Time" and the play "Blues for Mister Charlie". He exposed America's stance on the fundamental issues of humanity and argued that the resolution of racial conflicts should not be found in the law, but in the hearts of the people.

He is an important figure in gay literature. He said that he has spent most of his life watching white people succeed while he had to struggle to survive. He believes he knows more about American masculinity than most men of his generation because he was seen as a threat due to his race. Unfortunately, being an African American was seen as a negative thing. It still means that African Americans are seen as a sexual symbol and have to pay for the insecurities of others with their own personalities.
