    “Non-fiction that reads like fiction. A great sense of place and intriguing characters. Haven’t seen the movie, afraid it will suck”

    “It's set in Savannah, GA, which is eternally summery/sticky/humid! A non-fiction story that follows an antique dealer on trial for alleged murder.”

    “It’s a nonfiction classic for a reason! Extremely propulsive, very descriptive and the treatment of queerness is surprisingly modern. I can’t stop thinking about it and Savannah in general.”
