5.0 out of 5 stars
One of the Top Ten Novels of this avid modern fiction reader,
By A Customer
This review is from: Dear Mr. Capote (Lish, Gordon) (Paperback)
A nervy and soulful book, full of honesty and deep awareness of the human condition.Not for the timid or for the seeker after simple pablum. Challenging and intellectual, but fast-paced and sheer fun to read.
