Other Voices, Other Rooms is a 1948 novel by Truman Capote.[1] It is written in the Southern Gothic style and is notable for its atmosphere of isolation and decadence.[2]
Other Voices, Other Rooms is significant because it is both Capote's first published novel and semi-autobiographical. It is also noteworthy due to its erotically charged photograph of the author, risqué content, and debut at number nine on The New York Times Best Seller list,[3] remaining on the list for nine weeks.[4]
