This is a horrible, racist, sexist story. Avoid at all costs.

After watching the second season of Feud, I felt I needed to read something by Capote besides "In Cold Blood."  I enjoyed "Breakfast" and the other short stories.  Most of his fiction was a thinly veiled autobiography.  His way of looking at people and his ability to turn them into interesting characters were intriguing.  Now, I need to rewatch the movie to see how it relates to the book.

The one star is for the third short story at the end “a Christmas miracle” which was cute and sad and well done. BaT’s does not hold up. This author seems to have a fascination with pedophilia as well, super creepy and way too manic pixie dream girl and just random all the way through like he’s never met a woman in his life. Holly was not interesting just all over the place. I’m very heated about this actually

After listening to the “Totally Trans” episode dedicated to the book (Thanks, Lior Mali, for the Rec) I love it way more. It’s not an “unproblematic” book (racism, slurs etc’) but it may be attributed to the narrator if one wants.
