Other sounds, other rooms

After the death of his mother, 13-year-old Joel travels to his father, whom he has never met. Joel finds himself on a forgotten Mississippi estate, where he encounters his paralyzed father, eccentric relatives, and a strange, mysterious environment.

Amidst the unbearable heat and the ghosts of the past, the boy finds himself faced with the destruction of innocence, the search for his own identity, and the inevitable loneliness.

The legendary American writer Truman Capote masterfully describes the inner transformation of a young boy in this semi-autobiographical novel. “Other Voices, Other Rooms” is Truman Capote’s debut novel, which he wrote at the age of 23. The author’s acclaimed novel “Without a Shaking Hand” has already been published in Georgian.
