DID OTHERS THK THE NARRATOR OBVLY GAY? I HAD ALWAYS HEARD THAT ABOUT THIS BOOK BUT DID NOT FD THAT READG . DID I MISS SOMETHG?

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.
