After reading To Kill a Mockingbird, by Capote's neighbor and friend Harper Lee, I craved more southern lit. Then, in my lit theory(bore the living daylights out of me and kill a story class) I was bored and was perusing my class text and read Miriam, by Capote. CREEPY!!!! I copied it for the 8th grade and they liked it. We watched a short film based on it and they liked that even more. They are so visual.
So then I had to read and read....
Breakfast at Tiffany's - better than the film!!! Grittier and Holly is painted in a different light all together
Then it was on to more...
I like his southern and Gothic themed eeriness to all his stories. He was a master of the short story.
Read him. He was an odd soul, but a talented one indeed.
