These two childhood tales pay loving tribute to an eccentric old-maid cousin, Miss Sook Faulk, who became Capote's best friend. In \"A Christmas Memory,\" Miss Sook, Buddy (the narrator), and their dog, Queenie, celebrate the yuletide in a hilariously tipsy state. In the poignant reminiscence \"One Christmas,\" six-year-old Buddy journeys to New Orleans for a reunion with his estranged father that shatters many illusions. And in \"The Thanksgiving Visitor,\" Miss Sook invites an unexpected guest to the holiday meal: the school bully, Odd Henderson, whom Buddy calls \"the meanest human creature in my experience.\" \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDistinguished by Capote's delicate interplay of childhood sensibility and recollective vision, these three classics are gems that celebrate the unique bonds of friends and family.\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Truman Capote\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modern Library\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePublished:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\/12\/1996\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.45 lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.52\" H x 4.87\" L x 0.61\" W\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9780679602378\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Flowerburst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50569527492912,"sku":"9780679602378","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2712\/8368\/files\/9780679602378_cc2d6a89-6654-4caf-a601-aebe868e8f4b.jpg?v=1774967473","url":"https:\/\/flowerburst.co\/products\/a-christmas-memory-truman-capote-hardcover","provider":"Flowerburst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
