Description
Grady - beautiful, rich, flame-haired, defiant - is the sort of girl people stare at across a room. The daughter of an important man, who people want to be introduced to. A girl to whom people sense something is going to happen ...
But her privileged society life of parties, debutantes and dresses leaves her wanting more. And excitement comes in the form of the highly unsuitable Clyde, a Brooklyn-born, Jewish parking attendant. When Grady's parents leave her alone for the first time in their New York penthouse one summer, their secret affair intensifies. As a heat wave envelops the city, Grady gets in deeper and deeper and cares less about the consequences. Soon, though, she will be forced to make decisions - choices that will forever affect her future once the long, sultry summer comes to an end.

Ein Roman des 19 jährigen Truman Capote, der erst posthum gefunden und veröffentlicht wurde. Ein Geschichte, die schon das Können und die Beobachtungsgabe zeigt, die den späteren Capote ausmachen. Eine Sommergeschichte übers Ausbrechen, übers Jungsein, über Erfahrungen die man machen muss und über Konsequenzen die daraus folgen.

Ich war neugierig auf Truman Capote. In einer sehr besonderen Sprache - klar und nicht poetisch- mit einer hervorragenden Beobachtungsgabe, erzählt er uns von Grady. Eine 17 jährige aus der New Yorker High Society nach Ende des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Ihre Gesellschaftsschicht ödet sie an und so versucht sie im beschriebenen Sommer mit Hilfe einer Liebe auszubrechen. Das plötzliche Ende ist eher ein Gefühl, als ein Ereignis, und eines das einen deshalb zum Nachdenken bringt.
