Has anyone read both? The story about Sally in GtB is so so similar to Holly in BaT - i.e. young gay writer comes to new city and starts intimate friendship with flighty, promiscuous, beautiful 18ish-year-old struggling actress who lies about her past and sponges off rich men - and written in quite a similar style - I wonder if Capote had read Isherwood? But then BaT has such a ring of truth to it that I feel like it must be a coincidence.
