Three by Truman Capote
For more than thirty years, Truman Capote occupied a preeminent position among contemporary American writers. The three works that constitute this omnibus vividly illustrate the breadth and depth of Mr. Capote's remarkable achievement and reinforce his reputation as one of our finest native talents. Other Voices, Other Rooms was first published in 1948 and was immediately hailed as a small masterpiece. Breakfast at Tiffany's, a novella, was published nine years later. Music for Chameleons, published in 1980, offers a wide sampling of the author's inventive experiments in narrative reportage.
