Breakfast At Tiffany’s by Truman Capote

In this 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. Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naïveté continue to charm. This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers', “A Diamond Guitar', and “A Christmas Memory', which the Saturday Review called “One of the most moving stories in our language.” It is a tale of two innocents -- a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend -- whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.

Includes a sadistic lesbian neighbor who brings on violent events. Everything very subtle and indirect
