* breakfast at tiffany's narrator gay *
Openly homosexual at a time when few other wrers were, and a theatril person to boot, Capote cut que a figure wh the publitn of his first book, Other Voic, Other Rooms (1948). Although Breakfast at Tiffany’s don’t al explicly wh them of homosexualy, many rears draw an associatn between the unnamed narrator and Capote himself, ncludg that the narrator is ed a gay man.
For this reason, ’s worth nsirg the novella alongsi other books about gay men the 1940s, cludg Gore Vidal’s novel The Cy and the Pillar, which is a g-of-age story about a young gay man livg the Uned Stat durg World War II. Siarly, Jam Baldw’s send novel, Gvanni’s Room, explor male sexualy and what means to be a closeted gay man the mid-20th century.
Did others thk the narrator obvly gay? One thg is that Holly says at some pot that ppl should be allowed to love, which they are/were, but maybe she meant homosexual love which at that time was owned upon. While the narrator's life outsi of Holly-related activi is rarely mentned, is safe to assume he isn't gay bee he "fell love" wh Holly.
