It was a really well written and thoughtful book. I only gave it three stars because it wasn't that exciting but still a nice story. I liked the protagonist and Holly (tho her character is a bit weird but you get to understand her behavior so it's fine again). For me it was a bit confusing that the narrator hasn't gotten a "real" name which makes him a bit faceless to me? And after Holly changed his name for him again, well it was over. Faceless man was born :D Anyway, in my book edition there were another threee stories by Truman Capote (House of Flowers, The Diamond Guitar, Christmas Memories) which were short but nice and well written as well.

a timeless classic that's worth a quick read. i'm a new york fanatic, so it was just natural for me to read this one sooner or later. the 40s atmosphere really shines throughout the book, also with its racism, sexism and homophobia, but that were just the times back then. the message of belonging was nicely put. definitely watching the movie with audrey hepburn soon to finish up this experience. my edition featured three additional short stories by truman capote, those weren't as captivating like the main story, but still enjoyable anecdotes.

Dieses Buch lag echt seit über 20 Jahren auf meinem SUB. Es ist mit mir viele Male umgezogen und sogar mit mir nach England und zurück gereist. Jetzt wurde es endlich von seinem Schicksal befreit, weil ich es einfach nicht mehr mit ansehen konnte, wie traurig es aussah. Die Seiten fangen schon an, gelb zu werden.
