What is the author's style in Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote?

The general language of the story is tight and spare, spiked with significant conversation. The author uses lots of brand names and slang, adding to the cosmopolitan feel of the novel. The conversation is crude at times, which helps readers understand the characters better. Most of the characters talk the same, but when Doc Golightly comes to visit, it's obvious from his speech that he's not from New York. Instead of "children," he says, "churren." His dialect adds a dimension to Holly's background, showing how diverse her life has been.
