Customer Reviews

A gem collection.

If you are a fan of Truman Capote you shouldn't be without this superb collection. "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is represented in it's entirety, along with numerous short stories and non-fiction pieces. "A House on the Heights" is a special treat. "A Christmas Memory" is one of the most beautiful prose pieces in all American literature. What makes this volume an absolute must is the inclusion of Capote's first non-fiction novel "The Muses Are Heard" - a delightfully funny account of a trip to the USSR with a traveling company of "Porgy and Bess." If you can find a copy of this BUY it, you will never regret it. This gem collection should be sold in Tiffany's instead of book stores.
