Everyone should know and read Capote for his ability to paint a picture - it’s kind of on me for not knowing more of MCM New York society but honestly, you’re still deeply entertained and captivated by the characters that it doesn’t matter that we don’t know their context. Beautiful, sad, melancholy writing. Also so much drama over LCB and yet the chapter itself was over so quick.

Really, a petty and bitchy little novella- much like Capote himself, if you believe the stories. I’m glad to have read it as a companion to watching Feud: Capote Vs The Swans, but I wouldn’t have sought it out on its own.

I didn't like it enough to finish. His other works are so much better in my opinion
