Summer Crossing by Truman Capote ****

• Audiobook 
• US author
• Originally published in 2004.  It was written in the 1940s, never published, then found among his papers after his death
• Review:  This audio version of Capote's novella was very good.  A 20th century Romeo and Juliet-esque tale set in the hot summer in NYC.  So, that tells you the outcome, but it is the wonderful prose of Capote's which makes this worth reading nonetheless.  His phrasing made me catch my breath a few times, it was so perfect.  Capote is a painter with words.  Lovely, lovely, tragic tale!
