Breakfast at Tiffany's - Truman Capote

This volume includes three of Capote's best-known stories, House of Flowers, A Diamond Guitar, and A Christmas Memory, in addition to his bestselling novel, Breakfast at Tiffany, the popular story of Holly Golightly--a cross between Lolita and Auntie Mame (Time). 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 na vet 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.
