A very beautiful piece of work. Loved everything about it, especially that Thompson sprinkled his childhood memories in every chapter.

This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “A Christmas Memory.”

Truman Capote style is great. It's easy to read, and most importantly, enjoyable.

Recently my appetite for dystopian/sci-fi was big. I read some good comics but eeh, didn't decrease the hunger or fulfill the need. An intensive dose was what I needed. And this has absolutely done the job.

The good thing that came out of it is I got rid of the other two books I had—The War of the Worlds and The Invisible Man. Maybe I'll check out their adaptations—who knows!

One more time:

Rest at pale evening ...
A tall slim tree ...
Night coming tenderly
Black like me.
