Of its time, outdated, wouldn't read again, homophobic and racial slurs aplenty. Extra stories were very strange. I liked the idea that a stranger can become any type of person that you need them to becomebill369's review against another edition

For some reason, I decided to read another of Capote's works.
I like how free-spirited Holly is. But overall I don't really care for the characters.
The writer „Fred“ is in love with Holly and gives us insight into Holly's crazy life.
Page 20, at least a little bit.
Lidi si samozřejmě mysleli, že jistě jsem taky teplá. A to se ví, že jsem. Jako každý: aspoň trochu. No, a co?
I liked the end because it was realistic and made the whole book make more sense.
I could get around without reading this book but it wasn't horrible.
