A review by wanderinggoy
Summer Crossing by Truman Capote

4.0

This is my first Capote. Published posthumously, it was perhaps not deemed worthy of publication by the author, or, just maybe, too precious for the author to part with.* To me, this very short, very American novel from the 1940s or 50s initially very pleasantly reminds me of Wilde and Woolf. And then it turns into something altogether different.

*The afterword (by Alan U. Schwartz) tells me it’s the former.
