A review by paroof
Other Voices, Other Rooms by Truman Capote

4.0

So, it turns out I've had a total misconception about this book for several years. I first heard this title when one of my favorite singer/songwriters, Nancy Griffith, named an album after this book. On the album she sang other songwriters' songs. I, for some unknown reason, just assumed this was a book of short stories. I don't know why I assumed that, I just did. It's not.

Anyway, besides not being what I expected, it is a classic for several reasons including exquisite writing and having a queer child as a protagonist.

Recommended.
