Reviews "An abundance of riches. . . . It is not hard at all to open to any page . . . and be amused, moved, intrigued." -Newsday "To best experience Capote the stylist, one must go back to his short fiction. . . . One experiences as strongly as ever his gift for concrete abstraction and his spectacular observancy." -The New Yorker "It is a stunning experience to reread this fiction . . . and to realize how very golden this boy was. . . .
