Though Truman Capote describes socialite Holly Golightly as being “top banana in the shock department” in his 1958 novella Breakfast at Tiffany’s - we beg to differ.

In this episode we discuss Breakfast at Tiffany’s, try to make sense of its main character (and creepy narrator), chat about what did not sit right with us when reading, how the novella inspired the iconic Audrey Hepburn film - and of course try to get to the bottom of the question of all questions: why is this book considered to be a classic?
