Most readers know Truman Capote as the author of Breakfast at Tiffanys and In Cold Blood; or they remember his notorious social life and wild and 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. Now, on the occasion of what would have been his eightieth birthday, the Modern Library presents the first collection that includes all of Capotes short fictiona 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 and 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 . . . and The Bargain, Capotes melancholy, never-before-published 1950 story about a suburban housewifes shifting fortunes.From the gothic South to the chic East Coast, from rural children to aging urban sophisticates, all the unforgettable places and people of Capotes 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. At once innocent and tart, fierce and heartbreaking sensitive, Truman Capote's unique voice, first heard in his short fiction of the 1940s, has made him one of the most admired American writers of the 20th century.

Hardcover. Condición: Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Fine. 1st Edition. 1st Printing. 300 pages. Published in 2004. Scarce Truman Capote collectible set. A fine copy of "The Complete Stories of Truman Capote" First Hardcover Edition/First Printing with a pristine copy of the Strand Magazine's publication of his recently discovered short story, "Another Day In Paradise". The latter, in effect, truly completes his oeuvre. Retrospective collection of short stories. One of the greatest American collections of the 20th century. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. The First Edition is now scarce. A brilliant production by Random House: Regular-sized volume format. Hard boards with gilt titles embossed on spine, as issued. Text by Truman Capote. Introductory Essay, "Usable Answers", by the great American novelist Reynolds Price. The latter piece, which alludes to "Answered Prayers", appears in this edition only. Printed on archival stock paper in the United States to the highest standards. In wraparound DJ, which utilizes the great, Surrealist-inspired photograph of the 21-year-old Capote by Henri Cartier-Bresson, as issued. Presents "The Complete Stories of Truman Capote". Nothing less than some of the highest spots of modern American literature. Capote will always be remembered - rightly so - for his masterpiece, "In Cold Blood" (1965). Still, his short stories and his novellas, that is to say, his long short stories ("Other Voices, Other Rooms", "The Grass Harp", "Breakfast At Tiffany's", and in the end, "Answered Prayers") are among the enduring achievements by an American author whose life was tragically cut short by what amounted to a self-inflicted death from depression, alcoholism, and drug addiction. The inescapable interest in Capote The Celebrity tends to dilute and distract us from the greatness of Capote The Writer. Capote's model was Flaubert, and his stated goal was punitively Flaubert-ian: Literary perfection. There is no contemporary American writer who writes as magnificently as Capote did at the height of his powers. Fashionable American writers today denigrate his achievement because they can't do it, and we tend to hate what we cannot do. Includes "The Bargain", which appears in published form for the very first time. An absolute "must-have" title for Truman Capote collectors. This title is a great collection. It comes with a pristine copy of Strand Magazine's "Truman Capote's Unpublished Short Story". As far as we know, this is the only such set of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing and Strand Magazine Issue available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce set thus. Truman Capote's "In Cold Blood" is widely regarded as one of the greatest books of the 20th century. One of the greatest writers of the 20th century. A fine set.
