<\/span>Capote’s novella is famously the basis of a much sanitised hollywood film version. In this, the original work, it’s pretty blatant that Holly is a hooker of sorts and she’s portrayed as even more of a creature of impulse and criminal tendencies that she is in the film.
\nI got the impression that Holly was something almost feral yet so glamorous that the narrator loved her from a distance in his way but never really understood her.
\nNot my usual kind of thing but it’s a pretty good read and is definitely worth seeking out if you’ve only ever seen the film version of these particular characters.\n<\/p>\n
