In 2007, Rhodes named his top 10 short books for the Guardian. One title on the list:
Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman CapoteRead about the other entries on the list.
The book is sadder and funnier than the film, and it doesn't end with a rom-com-cop-out. Holly is more vulnerable and hopeless - still very sexy though. Would this be a good time to mention that I loathe the word novella? It's so frilly and twee. Slim volume, short novel - anything but novella.
