Library Read-a-thon, Book 9: Breakfast at Tiffany's


Before I call it a night, I thought I would post the book I will be reading tomorrow. I've seen the Breakfast at Tiffany's movie countless times but I've never read the book. I hope it's as delightful as the movie.

Book: Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories by Truman Capote

Description:

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 naïveté 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 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.
