Format:Paperback
Be warned. This is not The Grass Harp novella. This is the dramatised version by Truman Capote. Not what I thought I was ordering.

Format:Paperback
After reading Breakfast at Tiffany`s I wanted to read more of Truman Capote,so I decided on this novel and I am not sorry I did.A sweet,beautifull and sometimes hilarious story.It is simple,but that makes it nicer and I could identify with the main character Colin.It gets sadder toward the end and I almost cried,but the least said the better the book.
Enjoy(and I am sure you will!)

The Great American Novel
28 Mar 2001
Format:Paperback
The Grass Harp is a perfect and beautiful piece of American fiction. I have read this novel at least ten times, and each time it moves me. The language is rich and textured, the characters are real and true, the story is simple and touching. To read Capote is to fall in love with an American South that is no more- a time and place that can only exist in the imagination.

Format:Paperback
Does anyone read Truman Capote anymore? Other than teenagers, I mean, who have seen or heard about "In Cold Blood" and are expecting more? Capote did not write verse, he did not rhyme, but he wrote poetry (when he wrote what he wanted to write). I sat down two days ago with just 15 minutes to indulge, having pulled from the shelf "The Grass Harp" and, again, was captured and envious. Does anyone turn a descriptive phrase as he does? Does any author bring one to tears with his visual descriptions, like a painter as well as a poet? He is not in style now. He is overlooked. When they teach "southern authors", I do not recall seeing his name. Perhaps his later "tabloid" works and lifestyle eclipse him now. I hope it will not always be so. What a wonderful, honest, tender story this is. I hope it will not be lost.
