Other Voices, Other Rooms by Truman Capote

Go to review page

5.0

Other Voices, Other Rooms is a complicated exploration of adolescent sexuality through the lens of the Southern Gothic. It's messy and problematic and unsettling and dazzling. Regardless of what we make of this novel--I'll leave that to others perhaps more qualified than me to judge--Capote remains one of the best pure craftsmen the English language has ever known.
