4.0

After listening to the “Totally Trans” episode dedicated to the book (Thanks, Lior Mali, for the Rec) I love it way more. It’s not an “unproblematic” book (racism, slurs etc’) but it may be attributed to the narrator if one wants.

For some reason, I decided to read another of Capote's works.

I like how free-spirited Holly is. But overall I don't really care for the characters.

The writer „Fred“ is in love with Holly and gives us insight into Holly's crazy life.

Page 20, at least a little bit.
 

Lidi si samozřejmě mysleli, že jistě jsem taky teplá. A to se ví, že jsem. Jako každý: aspoň trochu. No, a co?

 

I liked the end because it was realistic and made the whole book make more sense.

I could get around without reading this book but it wasn't horrible.
