Title: Breakfast at Tiffany's
Author: Truman Capote
Year: 1958
Publisher: Random House
Pages: ~75
Holly Golightly bears a great superficial resemblance to Isherwood's Sally Bowles, though Sally is considerably less histrionic (and therefore, more genuinely tortured about who she is and what to make of her life). There's plenty of back story here, some of it quite desperate if examined out of the context of Capote's deceptively breezy story.
I am afraid that the colonoscopy prep GoLYTELY has forever affected my associations to this surname.
