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

dark reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

capote is so fun to read— his words and turns of phrase just whirl over the page and cultivate a landscape of queer southern gothic chaos, like the garden at the landing. tough to read any depiction of blackness in/of this era, but capote does seem to have some (paternalistic, flawed) affection for all of his characters.

i loved the way the gothic madwoman in the attic showed up here, such a delicious queer treat
