{"product_id":"a-christmas-memory-9780679602378","title":"A Christmas Memory","description":"\u003cb\u003eTogether in one festive, keepsake volume, here are the three holiday stories that Truman Capote regarded as among his greatest works of short fiction.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e “A Christmas Memory” and “The Thanksgiving Visitor” were inspired by Capote’s early years with a family of distant relatives in rural Alabama. 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.”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\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.","brand":"Random House Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"STANDARD","offer_id":58336501629315,"sku":"9780679602378","price":20.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0907\/8456\/3587\/files\/9780679602378.jpg?v=1782475666","url":"https:\/\/shopcomics.eu\/products\/a-christmas-memory-9780679602378","provider":"Shop Comics EU","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
