The Complete Stories of Truman Capote

This volume collects Capote's short fiction from across his career. It includes early stories written in his youth, tales of the South with gothic and dreamlike touches, and later pieces with a more polished, urbane tone. Childhood, memory, loneliness and strange encounters appear again and again. Readers can follow how his style developed, from haunting early work to the clear, graceful prose of his maturity.
