Truman Capote
Truman Capote's first novel is a story of almost supernatural intensity and inventiveness, an audacious foray into the mind of a sensitive boy as he seeks out the grown-up enigmas of love and death in the ghostly landscape of the deep South.
At the age of 12, Joel Knox is summoned to meet the father who abandoned him at birth. But when Joel arrives at the decaying mansion in Skully's Landing, his father is nowhere in sight. What he finds instead is a sullen stepmother who delights in killing birds; an uncle with the face - and heart - of a debauched child; and a fearsome little girl named Idabel who may offer him the closest thing he has ever known to love.

Great narrator

Clearly not to everyone’s taste, but I loved the book. Beautifully written and emotionally honest. The narration, which some people may find off-putting, seems to me to hit just the right tone. The narrator’s Southern accent is properly languorous and dreamy—much as Capote’s own speaking voice was, but without the slight lisp that Capote had.
