"While the narrator's ambiguous sexual orientation is hinted at in previous
sections, section 16 offers the reader a more explicit acknowledgment that
he is a homosexual. Holly addresses the narrator as "Maude," which, in the
gay slang of the time, refers either to a male prostitute or a homosexual.
Instead of defining the narrator outright as a homosexual, Capote identifies
him with slang that would have been obscure to everyone those with intimate
knowledge of the gay underworld. This subtlety
