Review:
"Truman Capote is the most perfect writer of my generation."
-Norman Mailer
From the Publisher:
-Norman Mailer
Thought to be lost for over fifty years, this is Truman Capote's very first novel, begun when he was just nineteen. It's sparkling wit, shimmering atmosphere and moving denouement show all the qualities that made him one of America's greatest writers.
