(New York: Random House, 1958).

FIRST EDITION OF THE NOVEL THAT GAVE US HOLLY GOLIGHTLY, that remarkable New York Café Society girl Capote said was his favorite among the many characters he'd created. Also includes the stories, A Diamond Guitar, House of Flowers, and A Christmas Memory. Probably Capote’s scarcest book and his best remembered too, Breakfast at Tiffany's is a seductive, wistful masterpiece. Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape; her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm over 60 years later.
