Industry Reviews
"Though the late Capote became a pathetic self-caricature, the one who wrote these brilliant stories deserves to be remembered."
Kirkus (08/15/2004)
"If some of the earliest, most precocious efforts seem derivative..., one experiences as strongly as ever his gift for concrete abstraction...and his spectacular observancy....Again and again, his lyricism, to poignant effect, stops just short of over-ripeness....There's very little steam and sex in these pieces; the seductions in them are of a different nature, creepy and dangerous."
New Yorker - Thomas Mallon (09/08/2004)
