This Penguin Classics edition includes an introduction by Reynolds Price.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePassionate, perceptive and eloquent, the short stories of Truman Capote are amon the greatest works of twentieth-century American fiction. This new collection gathers them all together for the first time: from early, eerie Southern Gothic tales such as ''Miriam'' and ''The Headless Hawk'', to the brilliantly evocative ''Children On Their Birth-days'' and the tenderly autobiographical ''A Christmas Memory'' - an affectionate portrayal of Capote''s own Alabama upbringing. Whether describing the Deep South of his childhood, or considering city life with the penetrating gaze of an outsider - as in ''Among the Paths to Eden'' and the hitherto unpublished ''The Bargain'' - these stories rank among Capote''s finest work: acutely observed tales from a unique and brilliant mind.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTruman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans. He left school when he was fifteen and subsequently worked for \u003ci\u003eThe New Yorker\u003c\/i\u003e, which provided his first - and last - regular job.
