a leopard-skin hat is a character study following Fanny, through the eyes of her close friend known only as the Narrator. Fanny suffers profoundly from mental health issues and the book sort of switches between Fanny’s experiences as she struggles to understand and participate in the world around her, and the Narrator’s relationship and experiences with her. I found this to be quite compelling, interesting in form, and also relatable in many ways.
