5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection. A treasure, especially for Southerners., 25 Nov 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: A Christmas Memory (Knopf Book and Cassette Classic) (Hardcover)
Before I read the text of Capote's masterpiece, I saw the 1967 television production with Geraldine Page and literally fell in love with it. Long before the short story was adapted by many literature anthologies, I read it aloud to my students between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In fact, I had my freshmen students write letters to Mr. Capote in 1977. We were very surprised to receive a postcard of thanks from him in his distinctive, delicate script. The card is a treasure of mine to this day. Now that I have left the classroom, I take out the story and read it aloud to myself at this time of year. It is a gem. I have yet to read it without tears in my eyes when I finish. No piece of literature has ever affected me quite the way "A Christmas Memory" has. I can't imagine any Southerner reading it and not nderstanding the era and locale and the mystique of "fruitcake weather."

He uses the power of his pen, as powerful as his "In Cold Blood" - but this time, he warms the readers heart.. and forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars Not just a book, but a priceless holiday tradition, 9 Aug 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Christmas memory: AND One Christmas (Modern Library) (Hardcover)
These wonderful stories touch my heart and stir my spirit like no other holiday stories ever have. If you can read these, and NOT recall people in your past who the stories remind you of, laugh or get a tear in your eye, you may need your pulse checked. Not only are they loaded with sentiment, humor, and emotion but Capote's incredible talent and style paint a picture that make these treasures even more precious.
