Two short stories, although I gather the second is an excerpt, published as a Penguin 60.
The first, Mastery Misery is a story of dreams sold by the main character - set up in New York seeking her fortune, who finds better money in selling dreams than working for a living - somewhat of a fantasy / horror story - hold onto your dreams kids...
The second, La Cote Basque is a fragmentary story of celebrities and gossip in a high end restaurant - some told, some overhead, and all accompanied by Cristal. Names of real people are included, which I guess is the scandal - is it biographical or just slanderous? Published after the death of the author.
Well written, in two very different styles, and as noted in the blurb at different ends of Capote's career.
Somewhere between 3 and 4 star for me. Feeling generous, so 4 it is.
