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 naiveté 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.
