Such Good Friends: A Novel of Truman Capote & Lee Radziwill by Stephen Greco

Did not finish book. Stopped at 6%.

The author’s writing style is overly descriptive for my taste, including every mundane detail. The dialogue and name-dropping felt forced. And I don’t get why he chose to have the former employee of Lee Radziwell narrate and tell us everything rather than show us the story from Truman and Lee perspectives; it would have been so much better! I was so looking forward to this novel as I love Capote and novels that focus on high society/golden age celebrities but I couldn’t force myself to read more than a couple chapters, it was so dull
