📖 The Complete Stories of Truman Capote

Passionate, perceptive and eloquent, the short stories of Truman Capote are among the greatest works of twentieth-century American fiction. This new collection gathers them all together for the first time: from early, eerie Southern Gothic tales such as "Miriam" and "The Headless Hawk", to the brilliantly evocative Children On Their Birth-days' and the tenderly autobiographical "A Christmas Memory" - an affectionate portrayal of Capote's own Alabama upbringing. Whether describing the Deep South of his childhood, or considering city life with the penetrating gaze of an outsider - as in "Among the Paths to Eden" and the hitherto unpublished "The Bargain" - these stories rank among Capote's finest work: acutely observed tales from a unique and brilliant mind.
