Truman Capote's provocative, naturalistic masterstroke about a young writer's charmed fascination with his unorthodox neighbour, the "American geisha" Holly Golightly. Holly – a World War II-era society girl in her late teens – survives via socialisation, attending parties and restaurants with men from the wealthy upper class who also provide her with money and expensive gifts. Over the course of the novella, the seemingly shallow Holly slowly opens up to the curious protagonist, who eventually gets tossed away as her deepening character emerges. Breakfast at Tiffany's, Truman Capote's most beloved work of fiction, introduced an independent and complex character who challenged audiences, revived Audrey Hepburn's flagging career in the 1961 film version, and whose name and style has remained in the national idiom since publication. Hall uses his diligent attention to character to bring our unnamed narrator’s emotional vulnerability to the forefront of this American classic

Product Description:
Holly Golightly, glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while down. She's up all night drinking cocktails and breaking hearts. She's a shoplifter, a delight, a drifter, a tease. She hasn't got a past.She doesn't want to belong to anything or anyone. Not to 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town. Not to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing. Not to a starving writer. Not even to her one-eyed rag-bag pirate of a cat. One day Holly might find somewhere she belongs. Until then she's travelling.
Review:
'One of the twentieth century's most gorgeously romantic fictions.' (The Daily Telegraph)

'The most perfect writer of my generation ... I would not have changed two words of Breakfast at Tiffany's.' (Norman Mailer)

Chapter 1
(Johannesburg, GAU, South Africa)

Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. 2nd Edition. 159 pages (complete). Second Impression. The book, besides the title story, contains: 'House of Flowers', 'A Diamond Guitar', 'A Christmas Memory'. A genial, charming copy. The dustjacket, designed by Patricia Davey, is enclosed in a clear cellophane protective cover. The dj itself is worn, creased and cracked. It is intact and secure. The board covers have shelving marks and wear to the edges. Otherwise it is serene. Inside, the back flap and last pages have a small burn mark to the feet. The papertrims are a little tanned. There is evidence of readership throughout with handling and storage marks that do not detract from the aspect of the pages - indeed the reassurance of character is added. The pages are comfortable, sure, clear, companionable and certain. fk. Our orders are shipped using tracked courier delivery services. Seller Inventory # avef
