This is actually my first Capote, believe it or not. 

And, shocker, I'm obsessed. Pulling back the curtain on the life of a 17 year old socialite who has never quite fit in with the debutant life, Capote highlights the jarring cultural differences of New York. The ending caught me off guard, but definitely gave me Gatsby vibes.
