SUPERB: ELEGANT: HEARTFELT: GROTESQUE: COMPASSIONATE: NEW Stated First Edition hardcover (Orig. 2004) First Printing: NEW handsomely-designed mylar-protected jacket featuring a front panel portrait of the young Capote & w/ sharp NEW edges & corners, IMMACULATE text-block exterior w/ smooth-cut top & bottom edges & cut-page-style "deckle" side-edging, NEW cover w/ royal purple paper wrapping spine & extending 1.24" onto front & back panels covered in silver-gray paper w/ EXCELLENT sharp edges & corners & titles elegantly gold-stamped on spine, NEW perfect binding w/ tight sheets, PRISTINE interior handsomely printed on EXCELLENT unblemished paper * 6.25" x 9.60" x 1.24", 0.70 kg, xvi+304 (320) pp * ABOUT THE BOOK: Most readers know Truman Capote as the author of "Breakfast at Tiffany's" & "In Cold Blood"; or they remember his notorious social life & wild & witty public appearances. But he was also the author of superb short tales that were as elegant as they were heartfelt, as grotesque as they were compassionate. On the occasion of what would have been his 80th birthday, in 2004, Random House presented this book, the first collection that includes all of Capote's short fiction, a volume that confirms his status as one of the masters of this form. Among the selections are "A Tree of Night", in which an innocent student, sitting on a train beside a slatternly woman & her deaf-mute companion, enters a seductive nightmare that brings back the deepest fears of childhood; "House of Flowers", the inspiration for a celebrated Broadway musical, which tells of a superstitious prostitute who learns to love in a way no one else can ever understand, the holiday perennial "A Christmas Memory", famously adapted into a superb made-for-TV movie; & "The Bargain", Capote's melancholy, never-before-published 1950 story about a suburban housewife's shifting fortunes. From the gothic South to the chic East Coast, from rural children to aging urban sophisticates, all the unforgettable places & people of Capote's oeuvre are captured in this first-ever compendium. The "Collected Stories of Truman Capote" should restore its author to a place above mere celebrity, to the highest levels of American letters. * ABOUT THE AUTHOR: TRUMAN CAPOTE was born September 30, 1924, in New Orleans. After his parents' divorce, he was sent to live with relatives in Monroeville, Alabama. It was here he would meet his lifelong friend, the author Harper Lee. Capote rose to international prominence in 1948 with the publication of his debut novel, "Other Voices, Other Rooms". Among his celebrated works are "Breakfast at Tiffany's", "A Tree of Night", "The Grass Harp", "Summer Crossing", "A Christmas Memory", & "In Cold Blood", widely considered one of the greatest books of the 20th century. Twice awarded the O. Henry Short Story Prize, Capote was also the recipient of a National Institute of Arts & Letters Creative Writing Award & an Edgar Award. He died August 25, 1984, shortly before his 60th birthday. * REYNOLDS PRICE is the James B. Duke Professor of English at Duke University & the distinguished author of more than 25 books of fiction, poetry, drama, & essays. He lives in North Carolina. * SHIPPING: MNEMOSYNE carefully wraps, labels & custom-packages this fine book for FREE domestic shipment via USPS MEDIA MAIL (or USPS PRIORITY MAIL for a below-cost additional fee) & via USPS FIRST CLASS INTERNATIONAL AIRMAIL to all international destinations.…
