Set in the Prohibition era, follow Buddy and his friend as they save up to make fruitcake to give as gifts (even buying whisky from a bootlegger called Haha); they even send one to President Franklin D. Roosevelt. Family, tradition, and memory make this story timeless and heartwarming.Publisher's description:
Taking its place next to Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood on the Modern Library bookshelf is this new and original edition of Capote's most famous short stories: "A Christmas Memory", "One Christmas", and "A Thanksgiving Memory". All three stories are distinguished by Capote's delicate interplay of childhood sensibility and recollective vision.
