The Grass Harp and A Tree of Night: and Other Stories by Truman Capote

3.0

It's been a very long time since I've read Capote, but this is probably the first time I've really delved into many of his works at once. The Grass Harp was a fun novella, with loveable characters who fall in love and must resist the likes of angry townsfolk who think that their rebellion is just plain silly. The plot is likeable, and I'd actually be very interested to see if there's a movie of it out there! The stories within A Tree of Night, were just as good! My favorites would have to be "Master Misery" and "Miriam," which are both equal parts incredible and spooky. If you're looking for an old time-y read with lots of character, I'd have to recommend this to you. However, I will warn you that because these were written 1949-1951, there's racism and anti-semitism.
