The works collected in this book by Truman Capote were written over different years and published in various collections, but they share one setting - New York, which itself becomes a character in the narrative. The realism of the descriptions...
of city streets and landscapes, comparable in accuracy to a guidebook, is combined with a ghostly, sometimes implausible, and even mystical atmosphere, in which reality and the internal experiences of the characters are so intertwined that the reader begins to doubt the reality of the events themselves. All the writer's characters, depicted with subtle psychology, are unsettled and lonely people in search of themselves and their place in life. Alongside one of the author's most famous works, the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's, the book includes three short stories: Miriam, The Demon, and Close the Last Door.
The book presents a shortened and adapted text at the Intermediate level.
