Capote & Brookey
Fabulous SoHo Neighbor (decked out in his usual Paul Smith/Prada ensemble): “Your book is out so soon, darrrrling–congratulations! Tell me a little bit about it.”
Me (sporting not-so-fabulous gym gear): “Well, ‘BELLE’ is about a small town Southern girl who moves to New York City…”
Fabulous Neighbor: “Hmmm… And do you know who was the original small town southern girl who chronicled her move to New York City?
Me: (A sigh. An almost audible prayer that said girl didn’t publish a book last month…)
Fabulous Neighbor: TRUMAN CAPOTE!
