I just finished the adorable Capote short story, A Christmas Memory.
I had NO IDEA he wrote Breakfast at Tiffany‘s- so I started this book & movie.I have to say, I had no idea what they were about, just that the movie is a classic.I am so off the mark about what the movie is about!! I thought she was a classy lady, not a flitsy, kept lady! I‘m curious to see how the story unfolds, So far the movie is keeping very close to the book-even dialogue!
dabbe I always read “A Christmas Memory“ with my students. Such a heartfelt story and nothing like BatT! 1y
tpixie @dabbe yes Memory was so sweet. Loved the illustrations also. BaT is much more crass! Lol I never knew! 1y

BkClubCare @tpixie - I‘m from Kansas. I tackled ICB way back; very soon after finding out how awesome narrative nonfiction can be. 1y
BkClubCare @tpixie + to me, it is fascinating about Capote because people have opinions but do they really know what he is about? He is a terrific example of someone who contains multitudes. (Don‘t we all?) 1y
tpixie @BkClubCare lol I‘m from Kansas too! THATS why I‘ve delayed it! Now in Hutchinson 🌻 1y
tpixie @BkClubCare yes! Great description! I‘m also curious about his Harper Lee connection. I think I‘m also going to move up - not certain if he is in it, but Harper is a ( minor) character![[tagged book]](https://image.librarything.com/pics/litsy_webpics/icon_taggedBook@3x.png)

tpixie @BkClubCare how fun! We‘re so close! I used to live in NE ICT- for most of my adult life. I miss B&N, Watermark Books, Target, & Oh Yeah! China Bistro Chinese restaurant! Of course, they aren‘t THAT far away, but still takes extra driving time. This Spring, we should have a #LitsyMeetUp! (edited) 1y
