Breakfast at Tiffany's by Truman Capote


"Truman Capote I do not know well, but I like him. He is tart as a grand aunt, but in his way is a ballsy little guy, and he is the most perfect writer of my generation, he writes the best sentences word for word, rhythm upon rhythm. I would not have changed two words in Breakfast at Tiffany's which will become a small classic." 
-Norman Mailer

Truman Capote was already a celebrity by the time Breakfast at Tiffany's was released in 1958. It was written at the end of what he called his second cycle of writing which began with his first published novel, Other Voices, Other Rooms. Although it was never assumed by the critics at the time, Breakfast at Tiffany's was to become one of the most famous and influential works Capote ever wrote. ~website
