Abstract
An abundance of disparity exists among critics of
Truman Capote's novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms; a
review of their comments demonstrates that their differing
emphases give very different meanings to the novel. Working
with the existing criticism, with the observation that
the novel is written from a homosexual point of view and
must therefore be viewed in that context, and with several
comments by Mr. Capote himself, this paper proposes the
idea that the novel is at least partially a product of its
then young author's psychosexual state of mind.
