A review by callieactuallyreads
Music for Chameleons by Truman Capote

adventurous dark emotional funny lighthearted mysterious reflective medium-paced

4.5

I didn’t have the highest of expectations for this given the general decline in quality of his work post In Cold Blood (i.e. his failed ‘masterpiece’ Answered Prayers). However I was pleasantly surprised at the perceptiveness and consistency of style in this collection of stories. Capote proved he had a distinct voice that needed to be put front and center in his work and that’s exactly what he does here in an array of settings. He also proved that in spite of everything, he had immutable talent as a writer.
