Breakfast at Tiffany's is Truman Capote's most acclaimed work of fiction and its main character Holly Golightly has become a cultural icon, largely due to the 1961 film.
However, Capote's original novella is far darker in theme and characterisation and offers deeper insights into human relationships and living within the American dream in the mid twentieth century. This study offers clear and incisive criticism of this major landmark in American fiction from one of its most celebrated writers.
Neil Root lives in London and writes literary criticism, true crime and fiction and teaches English language and literature. He has also written Aldous Huxley: Brave New World and James Baldwin: Go Tell It on the Mountain in the Focus On Series for Greenwich Exchange.
