Sore On Upper Lip Other Than

BREAKFAST AT TIFFANY'S by Truman Capote's guest








I have the laudable initiative of the newspaper La Republic, which in the series The Library has published several novels of the twentieth century that otherwise maybe would not have ever read, an encounter with Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote. Of course, reading is partly disturbed by the constant comparison that, even unintentionally, is to do with the true cult movie is the movie with Audrey Hepburn, but the novel works well alone, without the cumbersome reference I met Truman Capote astonishing for a novel of the 60s, In Cold Blood, reconstruction, not at all novel, an act of violence happened a few years earlier, in a province of the American middle west.

In Breakfast at Tiffany (1959) Capote, like other writers of the Beat Generation, captures the spirit of the time and seems to propose a philosophy of life which can convert the models of strict Puritan morality in the practice of pure joy, lightness and vitality.

American cinema, the big studios, the major , seem to have the strength to
present a reality that is not trivially comforting and optimistic, and so condemns Breakfast at Tiffany to be only a delightful comedy 's American Life, that is the triumph of conformity against the spirit of the novel.
