A review by marvelruinedmyspirit
The Complete Stories by Truman Capote

3.0

The Walls Are Cold - 3/5 - It's interesting, but I will say that the mention of rape out of nowhere threw me for a loop
A Mink of One's Own - 3/5 - Aggressively fine.
The Shape of Things - 2/5 - The writing lowkey confused me
Jug of Silver - 2.5/5 - Flat as a 2 weeks old soda
Miriam - 2/5 - Ok?
My Side of the Matter - 2.5/5 - I hope the narrator gets stabbed fifty times
Preacher's Legend - 2/5 - Ok...
A Tree of Night - 3/5 - This was so fucking weird, I have no idea what happened, but I... liked it?
The Headless Hawk - 4/5 - I don't know why this worked for me, I don't exactly know what was going on but I liked it
Shut a Final Door - 2/5 - I didn't get it...
Children on Their Birthdays - 4/5 - Damn that ending
Master Misery - 5/5 - I want a whole novel of whatever this is.
The Bargain - 3/5 - Truman Capote is obsessed with stories about women selling mink coats to each other
A Diamond Guitar - 4/5 - This one was pretty good, it's one of the most "classic" (normal) of this collection so far

A Christmas Memory - 5/5 - This made me cry so much I have to give it 5
Among the Paths to Eden - 4/5 - This one was fun.
The Thanksgiving Visitor - 2/5 - Cool, so Buddy is unforgivable for what he did but bullying is ok. Cool cool.
Mojave - 2/5 - There were too many threads in this story that were left unresolved for me to like it
