Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote

Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's.

In this seductive, wistful masterpiece, Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape—her poignancy, wit, and naïveté 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.

"Truman Capote is the most perfect writer of my generation. He writes the best sentences word for word, rhythm upon rhythm."
—Norman Mailer
