A Christmas Memory
A Christmas Memory | Truman Capote
55 posts | 52 read | 22 to read
Truman Capote's boyhood Christmas memoir, rereleased with a beautiful new packaging. The classic story of Truman Capote's childhood Christmas ritual is more endearing than ever in this newly redesigned package. In celebration ofA Christmas Memory's enduring appeal, this repackaged edition retains Beth Peck's evocative watercolors and Capote's original text. First published in 1956, this is the story from Capote's childhood of lovingly making fruitcakes from scratch at Christmas-time with his elderly cousin, and has stood the test of time to become known as an American holiday classic.

I love Capote‘s holiday short stories, and the part of his biography that says he was fired from the New Yorker for inadvertently offending Robert Frost is making me giggle. Stuff happens you know? 🤦‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤣

When I mentioned a month ago that it was fruitcake making day, a friend asked if I was familiar with this story. I‘d not heard of it, so I put it on my December TBR. It‘s a great story & meshed well with my own enjoyment of making & sharing whiskey soaked fruitcake. If you‘ve got a good recipe, it‘s so much better than its reputation. Tonight I enjoyed this & the other 2 stories in this edition with a slice of fruitcake.

BkClubCare I like fruitcake. Maybe I have only sampled the best? 😊 1y
Daisey @BkClubCare Very possibly! I definitely think there‘s a range of quality out there, but still think it‘s always worth telling people to give it a chance. Glad to hear someone else agrees. 1y

Trying something new this holiday season and joining in on #adventrecommends My first recommend is freshest on my mind as I just read 3 holiday short stories from the tagged book, The Thanksgiving Visitor, The Christmas Memory and One Christmas. I‘m not a fan of short stories but these were excellent. I enjoyed each of them and the writing was evocative of a time and place I never knew but could feel nostalgic about. I wasn‘t a fan of👇🏼

mrp27 Breakfast at Tiffany‘s so this was a pleasant surprise. I definitely plan on reading more Capote. 1y

I need to put this short story in my regular reading rotation around Christmas. Capote engages all the senses as a young boy and his grandmother, best friends, make fruitcake and other Christmas preparations. This book has all the cosy feelings and a little melancholy too-which honestly can be part of Christmas as one grows older, with less wide-eyed innocence.

“Possibly we doze; but the beginnings of dawn splash us like cold water; we‘re up, wild-eyed and wandering while we wait for others to waken. Quite deliberately my friend drops a kettle on the kitchen floor. I tap dance in front of closed doors. One by one the household emerges, looking as though they‘d like to kill us both, but it‘s Christmas so they can‘t.” #adventathon

These stories are sad and moving, filed with nostalgia and edginess. There‘s a looming sense of violence and peril that leaves every sentence a little unsettling. I loved the cross generational relationships and the scene setting of rural Alabama was very evocative.

I'm a day late, but this is inspiring, and poignant. On my mind because another book references Capote and because I made my first fruitcake this year!
Capote recounts being a seven-year-old whose harsh relatives “provide for“ him but give him no love or attention. A sixtyish cousin who is quirky and adventurous is his best friend, and in this story they celebrating and share Christmas together notwithstanding poverty, neglect, and Prohibition.

“Oh my it‘s fruitcake weather. “

Anyone out there eat fruitcake? I‘ve only tried it once & it was not good.

#festiveflicks #classic @Traci1

Soubhiville I imagine homemade might be better... I‘ve had packaged ones and don‘t care for it. 3y
Lauram It‘s definitely an acquired taste. My family really liked fruitcake from Harry & David. But I haven‘t had it since my mom and grandmother passed away. Maybe I‘ll order one this year. 3y
Lcsmcat Thin slices of good fruitcake, with a tiny dollop of whipped cream were a post-midnight-service tradition in the Christmas Eves of my childhood. But it needs to be moist - not a dried out brick. 3y
Traci1 I have never tried fruitcake, and I don't ever plan to. Just the appearance of it makes me think I'd hate it. More for everyone else! 😁 3y

Can you tell I‘m VERY excited for #wintergames2020 this year?? Here is a shot of my tbr, I have around 25 festive books in this kindle collection and a couple more physical books. I‘m already having to hold myself back on getting started on them! If anyone has any recommendations for books about winter holidays that aren‘t Christmas please tell me! All I can find for other holidays is children‘s books so far? Eager to widen my reading!

Completed 4 of the 5 books I had planned for this week! Plus one more holiday novel and a few picture books.

While none of these were 5 ⭐️ reads, it was still a good week!

#bookreport @Cinfhen

Cinfhen Lots of holiday reads❣️don‘t they all start to feel the same after awhile ?!? 😂 4y
alisiakae @Cinfhen Well, Yule was nonfiction and from a pagan perspective, so that was quite different from Skipping, and Catching Christmas (neither of which I particularly liked). I‘m reading Krampus next, so keeping it varied, and I found a Jewish Chanukah contemporary book i may read this coming week! I didn‘t think one existed! But I think a lot of the contemporary romance stories do all start to sound the same. (edited) 4y

I‘m a big fan of Truman Capote and I love this heartwarming Christmas novella. It‘s a thinly veiled autobiographical story about Truman as a child, when he lived in Alabama with his elderly cousins. It‘s the story of Buddy (Truman) & Sook — sweet old Sook with the mind of a child. I‘d highly recommend this for the holidays or as an intro to TC. 5⭐️

#SelfieScavengerHunt easy to find 💙 lights in this house! 🕎 And that‘s the most you‘ll see of me this early on a weekend morning. 🤣

Picked this up solely because of the author, I love Truman Capote‘s books. Other than the slightly problematic content that comes from an older story (stereotypes of indigenous peoples), this was a sweet story of friendship between a child and an older family member. Apparently, this is a fave of Haruki Murakami.

Merry Christmas to all the Littens! One of my office mates recommended this story to me, which came bundled with two other holiday stories from the author's childhood. It's sweet and a little sad and quirky, kind of like my office mate. The inflatable tree is from a family trip a few years ago when we celebrated my grandmother's 100th birthday the week before Christmas and stayed in town until after the holiday.
