Breakfast at Tiffany's and Three Stories by Truman Capote

5.0

"I am always drawn back to places where I lived, the houses and their neighbourhoods" is the perfect first sentence to a novella that is perfectly written. It is hard to describe prose that is so elegant and describes characters and situations with spareness, yet with such depth and feeling.
Just as you experience New York in the early sixties in the film, you experience New York in the 1940s in Capote's story. Holly Golightly runs from herself -- and keeps running -- but the reader is not left with any sense of loss, only warmth.
"Breakfast at Tiffany's" is a true work of art. Displace one word and its genius would diminish. It is highly recommended. By far my favourite in every manner.
