Breakfast at Tiffany's follows Holly Golightly through a city life built from reinvention, observing the freedom and cost of remaining difficult to define. Other Voices, Other Rooms uses an enclosed setting, family secrets, and a search for belonging to create dreamlike tension. A gesture, object, or pause often exposes what a speaker will not say.
