Really disappointed in how ugly this book is. I had to put it down. I'm trying to find words for what's wrong with it-- probably that the narrator delights in the ugliness he describes, but there's no insight. Utterly corrosive. I think Capote's self loathing shapes his world view here. Really sad. I could not finish the first section and skipped to Answered Prayers. I may try to read the middle section, or I may just bring it back to my local bookshop that accepts trade in books. Disturbing.
