A Christmas Memory: One Christmas, and The Thanksgiving Visitor (Modern Library),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Together in one festive, keepsake volume, here are the three holiday stories that Truman Capote regarded as among his greatest works of short fiction.A Christmas Memory and The Thanksgiving Visitor were inspired by Capotes early years with a family of distant relatives in rural Alabama. These two childhood tales pay loving tribute to an eccentric oldmaid cousin, Miss Sook Faulk, who became Capotes best friend. In A Christmas Memory, Miss Sook, Buddy (the narrator), and their dog, Queenie, celebrate the yuletide in a hilariously tipsy state. In the poignant reminiscence One Christmas, sixyearold Buddy journeys to New Orleans for a reunion with his estranged father that shatters many illusions. And in The Thanksgiving Visitor, Miss Sook invites an unexpected guest to the holiday meal: the school bully, Odd Henderson, whom Buddy calls the meanest human creature in my experience.Distinguished by Capotes delicate interplay of childhood sensibility and recollective vision, these three classics are gems that celebrate the unique bonds of friends and family.
