Michiko Kakutani writes in the voice of Truman Capote's classic character, Holly Golightly from Breakfast at Tiffany's, to review an old Capote novel newly published. Kakutani captures Golightly's unique voice to perfection. One can almost hear Audrey Hepburn, who memorably--and I think, faithfully--brought Golightly to life in the film version of the novel, with every word and turn of phrase.
I probably won't read the book. But Kakutani's review is a work of art. Or at least of artful spoofery.
