Breakfast at Tiffany's
Danny Says
This is a perfect book for light and entertaining reading. Actually, the book that is in bookstores now has a collection of Capote’s short stories, including this classic about Holly Golightly. I love Truman Capote for a number of reasons: (a) he was best friends as a child with To Kill a Mockingbird scribe Harper Lee; (b) his stories are very different and all well-written; and (c) I read a story that a six-year-old boy sent Capote a story he wrote, and Capote mailed the boy this response: “good writing…poor spelling…send more.” That boy turned out to be a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. Moral: be nice to everybody because you never have any idea who they may or will be.
