It was my first time reading this classic book; in fact, I’m embarrassed to say that it was my first time reading anything by Truman Capote — and I think it’s safe to say that I am wholly obsessed.
After finishing the novel, I immediately watched the film adaptation, and decided to watch the 2005 filmed titled *Capote* earlier today. There’s something special about reading a book that very clearly inspired many true crime writers for decades to follow. Written with such depth and empathy, while also striking a certain level of irony with its self serving exaggerations.
An iconic piece of riveting work.
