Random House, 1980. light wear to cloth, front hinge cracked and coming loose, pos penned inside cover, clean tight bright unmarked text, 262 pages. Bright glossy jacket is chipped at top of spine. Review"An incomparable stylist and entertainer...clean and cool...[with a] superb, near-perfect pitch with dialogue." --The New York Times Review "Everything is displayed in this book: insights and recollections of the famous and the obscure; old jokes and fresh wit...These stories and vingettes will endure." --New Republic --This text refers to the Paperback edition. Product DescriptionIn these gems of reportage Truman Capote takes true stories and real people and renders then with the stylistic brio we expect from great fiction. Here we encounter an exquisitely preserved Creole aristocrat sipping absinthe in her Martinique salon; an enigmatic killer who sends his victims announcements of their forthcoming demise; and a proper Connecticut householder with a ruinous obsession for a twelve-year-old girl he has never met. And we meet Capote himself, who, whether he is smoking with his cleaning lady or trading sexual gossip with Marilyn Monroe, remainds one of the most elegant, malicious, yet compassionate writers to train his eye on the social fauna of our time. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.. 5th printing. Hardcover. Good++/Good DJ. (more information)
