This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by Reynolds Price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePassionate, perceptive and eloquent, the short stories of Truman Capote are amon the greatest works of twentieth-century American fiction. This new collection gathers them all together for the first time: from early, eerie Southern Gothic tales such as 'Miriam' and 'The Headless Hawk', to the brilliantly evocative 'Children On Their Birth-days' and the tenderly autobiographical 'A Christmas Memory' - an affectionate portrayal of Capote's own Alabama upbringing. Whether describing the Deep South of his childhood, or considering city life with the penetrating gaze of an outsider - as in 'Among the Paths to Eden' and the hitherto unpublished 'The Bargain' - these stories rank among Capote's finest work: acutely observed tales from a unique and brilliant mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTruman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, which provided his first - and last - regular job. He wrote both fiction and non-fiction - short stories, novels and novellas, travel writing, profiles, reportage, memoirs, plays and films; his other works include \u003ci\u003eIn Cold Blood\u003c\/i\u003e (1965), \u003ci\u003eMusic for Chameleons \u003c\/i\u003e(1980) and \u003ci\u003eAnswered Prayers \u003c\/i\u003e(1986), all of which are published in Penguin Modern Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you enjoyed \u003ci\u003eThe Complete Stories\u003c\/i\u003e, you might like Capote's \u003ci\u003eBreakfast at Tiffany's\u003c\/i\u003e, also available in Penguin Modern Classics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'One of the century's greatest storytellers'\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eIndependent on Sunday\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40943150956641,"sku":"9780141188089","price":9.26,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_32280138.jpg?v=1737113155","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9780141188089-the-complete-stories","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
