Breakfast at Tiffany's and Three Stories

New York: Vintage Books, 1993. 178 pages; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. "In this seductive, wistful masterpiece, Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape. Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naivete; continue to charm. This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, 'House of Flowers,' 'A Diamond Guitar,' and 'A Christmas Memory,' which the Saturday Review called 'One of the most moving stories in our language.' It is a tale of two innocents--a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend--whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth. / Truman Capote (1924-84) rose to international prominence in 1948 with the publication of his debut novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms. His other works of fiction include Breakfast at Tiffany's, A Tree of Night, The Grass Harp, and Summer Crossing, the author's long-lost first novel, which was rediscovered in 2004 and published by Random House in 2005. He is also the author of Portraits and Observations: The Essays of Truman Capote. His nonfiction novel In Cold Blood is widely considered one of the greatest books of the twentieth century." - Publisher.. Paperback. Fine. 8vo.
