A review by ieemee
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

2.5

As an African European the racial remarks were very jarring & I wish the author used better descriptions for people of colour. Also I was unsure about its queer representation, in one hand Holly Go lightly seems to be inclusive to lesbians but the resonating behind that was bizarre and litter with toxic stereotypes. Capote has some beautiful descriptions and unique observations. The book is far heavier than the movie. The book is also told from the man’s perspective exclusively. The book over all has a captivating loneliness. I really wish it could have been rewritten with 21st century values instead.
