Recognizing that I am not the only fanatic Audrey Hepburn fan that frequents this blog, I will repost this amazing news, which I read about over at The English Muse.
The flow of Wasson’s words carries the reader from pre-production to on-set feuds and conflicts, while also noting Hepburn’s impact on fashion (Givenchy’s little black dress), Hollywood glamour, sexual politics, and the new morality. Always stingy with praise, Capote dismissed the finished film as a mawkish valentine to New York City, but one feels he would have been entranced by Wasson’s prismatic approach as he walks a perilous path between the analytic interpretation and the imaginative one. The result deserves Capote’s nonfiction novel label. Recapturing an era, this evocative factual re-creation reads like carefully crafted fiction. (Publisher’s Weekly)
