Truman claimed that the camera had caught him off guard, but in fact he had posed himself and was responsible for both the picture and the publicity." Much of the early attention to Capote centered on different interpretations of this photograph, which was viewed as a suggestive pose by some. According to Clarke,
9380-422: The early 1940s, the quality of the artwork submitted to the magazine seemed to improve. It later was found out that the office boy (a teenaged Truman Capote ) had been acting as a volunteer art editor, dropping pieces he did not like down the far end of his desk. Several of the magazine's cartoons have reached a higher plateau of fame. One 1928 cartoon drawn by Carl Rose and captioned by E. B. White shows
9514-460: The early, occasionally precarious years of its existence, the magazine prided itself on its cosmopolitan sophistication. Ross declared in a 1925 prospectus for the magazine: "It has announced that it is not edited for the old lady in Dubuque ." Although the magazine never lost its touches of humor, it soon established itself as a preeminent forum for serious fiction, essays and journalism. Shortly after
9648-834: The end of World War II , John Hersey 's essay Hiroshima filled an entire issue. The magazine has published short stories by many of the most respected writers of the 20th and 21st centuries, including Ann Beattie , Sally Benson , Maeve Brennan , Truman Capote , Rachel Carson , John Cheever , Roald Dahl , Mavis Gallant , Geoffrey Hellman , Ernest Hemingway , Stephen King , Ruth McKenney , John McNulty , Joseph Mitchell , Lorrie Moore , Alice Munro , Haruki Murakami , Vladimir Nabokov , John O'Hara , Dorothy Parker , S.J. Perelman , Philip Roth , George Saunders , J. D. Salinger , Irwin Shaw , James Thurber , John Updike , Eudora Welty , and E. B. White . Publication of Shirley Jackson 's " The Lottery " drew more mail than any other story in
9782-489: The fabrications: I recognized it as a work of art, but I know fakery when I see it," Olsen says. "Capote completely fabricated quotes and whole scenes ... The book made something like $ 6 million in 1960s money, and nobody wanted to discuss anything wrong with a moneymaker like that in the publishing business." Nobody except Olsen and a few others. His criticisms were quoted in Esquire , to which Capote replied, "Jack Olsen
9916-496: The far background. The March 21, 2009, cover of The Economist , "How China sees the World", is also an homage to the original image, depicting the viewpoint from Beijing's Chang'an Avenue instead of Manhattan. Hired by Tina Brown in 1992, Art Spiegelman worked for The New Yorker for ten years but resigned a few months after the September ;11 terrorist attacks . The cover created by Spiegelman and Françoise Mouly for
10050-439: The front rank has been placed in a position of privileged intimacy with criminals about to die, and – in my view – done less than he might have to save them. The focus narrows sharply down on priorities: Does the work come first, or does life? An attempt to help (by supplying new psychiatric testimony) might easily have failed: what one misses is any sign that it was ever contemplated. In Cold Blood brought Capote much praise from
10184-482: The image's obvious excesses rebuffed the concern that it could be misunderstood, even by those unfamiliar with the magazine. "The intent of the cover", he said, "is to satirize the vicious and racist attacks and rumors and misconceptions about the Obamas that have been floating around in the blogosphere and are reflected in public opinion polls. What we set out to do was to throw all these images together, which are all over
10318-422: The killers ... it may have turned out to be something completely uninteresting to me. Or maybe they would never have spoken to me or wanted to cooperate with me. But as it so happened, they did catch them. In January, the case was solved, and then I made very close contact with these two boys and saw them very often over the next four years until they were executed. But I never knew ... when I was even halfway through
10452-519: The last trademark on the name OpenDoc on June 11, 2005. OpenDoc had a large memory footprint for the time, and since the OS/2 (Warp 4) versions of OpenDoc were behind schedule, Cyberdog only ran on Macintosh. Moreover, saved documents were not viewable from applications which did not support OpenDoc's Bento format. After Apple terminated Cyberdog along with the rest of OpenDoc, Cyberdog's web browser component grew outdated as web standards evolved. Cyberdog
10586-400: The late 1950s, titled Brooklyn Heights: A Personal Memoir (1959). In November 2015, The Little Bookroom issued a new coffee-table edition of that work, which includes David Attie's previously-unpublished portraits of Capote as well as Attie's street photography taken in connection with the essay, entitled Brooklyn: A Personal Memoir, With The Lost Photographs of David Attie . This edition
10720-479: The late 20th and early 21st centuries, The New Yorker adapted to the digital era , maintaining its traditional print operations while expanding its online presence, including making its archives available on the Internet and introducing a digital version of the magazine. As of 2024, the editor of The New Yorker is David Remnick , who took over in 1998. Since 2004, The New Yorker has published political endorsements in U.S. presidential elections . The New Yorker
10854-651: The literary community, but there were some who questioned certain events as reported in the book. Writing in Esquire in 1966, Phillip K. Tompkins noted factual discrepancies after he traveled to Kansas and spoke to some of the same people interviewed by Capote. In a telephone interview with Tompkins, Mrs. Meier denied that she heard Perry cry and that she held his hand as described by Capote. In Cold Blood indicates that Meier and Perry became close, yet she told Tompkins she spent little time with Perry and did not talk much with him. Tompkins concluded: Capote has, in short, achieved
10988-411: The magazine endorsed a presidential candidate for the first time, choosing Democratic nominee John Kerry over incumbent Republican George W. Bush . The New Yorker has featured cartoons (usually gag cartoons ) since it began publication in 1925. For years, its cartoon editor was Lee Lorenz , who first began cartooning in 1956 and became a New Yorker contract contributor in 1958. After serving as
11122-469: The magazine in New York City on September 18. New Yorker covers are sometimes unrelated to the contents of the magazine or only tangentially related. The article about Obama in the July 21, 2008, issue did not discuss the attacks and rumors but rather Obama's political career. The magazine later endorsed Obama for president. This parody was most likely inspired by Fox News host E. D. Hill 's paraphrasing of an anonymous internet comment in asking whether
11256-488: The magazine's art editor from 1973 to 1993 (when he was replaced by Françoise Mouly ), he continued in the position of cartoon editor until 1998. His book The Art of the New Yorker: 1925–1995 (Knopf, 1995) was the first comprehensive survey of all aspects of the magazine's graphics. In 1998, Robert Mankoff took over as cartoon editor and edited at least 14 collections of New Yorker cartoons. Mankoff also usually contributed
11390-403: The magazine's history. In its early decades, the magazine sometimes published two or even three short stories in an issue, but in later years the pace has remained steady at one story per issue. The nonfiction feature articles (usually the bulk of an issue) cover an eclectic array of topics. Subjects have included eccentric evangelist Creflo Dollar , the different ways in which humans perceive
11524-453: The magazine's logo. Spiegelman wanted to see the emptiness, and find the awful/awe-filled image of all that disappeared on 9/11. The silhouetted Twin Towers were printed in a fifth, black ink, on a field of black made up of the standard four color printing inks. An overprinted clear varnish helps create the ghost images that linger, insisting on their presence through the blackness. At first glance,
11658-461: The magazine, before it was published as a book. Brown's tenure attracted more controversy than Gottlieb's or even Shawn's, due to her high profile (Shawn, by contrast, had been an extremely shy, introverted figure), and to the changes she made to a magazine with a similar look for the previous half-century. She introduced color to the editorial pages (several years before The New York Times ) and included photography, with less type on each page and
11792-441: The magazine. His most famous work is probably its March 29, 1976, cover, an illustration most often called "View of the World from 9th Avenue " and sometimes called "A Parochial New Yorker's View of the World" or "A New Yorker's View of the World", which depicts a map of the world as seen by self-absorbed New Yorkers. The illustration is split in two, with the bottom half of the image showing Manhattan's 9th Avenue, 10th Avenue, and
11926-445: The manuscript of this novel; but twenty years after his death, in 2004, it came to light that the manuscript had been retrieved from the trash back in 1950 by a house sitter at an apartment formerly occupied by Capote. The novel was published in 2006 by Random House under the title Summer Crossing . As of 2013, the film rights to Summer Crossing had been purchased by actress Scarlett Johansson , who reportedly planned to direct
12060-463: The middle-aged vice president of a Marine Midland Bank branch on Long Island, while visiting a New York bathhouse. The married father of three did not identify as homosexual or bisexual, perceiving his visits as being a "kind of masturbation". However, O'Shea found Capote's fortune alluring and harbored aspirations to become a professional writer. After consummating their relationship in Palm Springs,
12194-458: The most fame with In Cold Blood (1966), a journalistic work about the murder of a Kansas farm family in their home. Capote spent six years writing the book, aided by his lifelong friend Harper Lee , who wrote To Kill a Mockingbird (1960). Truman Capote was born at Touro Infirmary in New Orleans , Louisiana, to Lillie Mae Faulk (1905–1954) and salesman Archulus Persons (1897–1981). He
12328-506: The newspaper's weekly art meeting, where cartoons submitted over the previous week were brought up from the mail room to be looked over by Ross, the editorial department, and a number of staff writers. Cartoons were often rejected or sent back to artists with requested amendments, while others were accepted and captions were written for them. Some artists hired their own writers; Hokinson hired James Reid Parker in 1931. Brendan Gill relates in his book Here at The New Yorker that at one point in
12462-424: The other woman responded, "And I'm telling you, if he isn't young, he's dangerous!" Capote delighted in retelling this anecdote. In the early 1950s, Capote took on Broadway and films, adapting his 1951 novella, The Grass Harp , into a 1952 play of the same name (later a 1971 musical and a 1995 film), followed by the musical House of Flowers (1954), which spawned the song " A Sleepin' Bee ". In fall of 1952,
12596-424: The pages of The Observer after Tynan's review of In Cold Blood implied that Capote wanted an execution so the book would have an effective ending. Tynan wrote: We are talking, in the long run, about responsibility; the debt that a writer arguably owes to those who provide him – down to the last autobiographical parentheses – with his subject matter and his livelihood ... For the first time an influential writer of
12730-426: The passage of time, and Münchausen syndrome by proxy . The magazine is known for its editorial traditions. Under the rubric Profiles , it has published articles about prominent people such as Ernest Hemingway , Henry R. Luce , Marlon Brando , Hollywood restaurateur Michael Romanoff , magician Ricky Jay , and mathematicians David and Gregory Chudnovsky . Other enduring features have been "Goings on About Town",
12864-449: The photo created an "uproar" and gave Capote "not only the literary, but also the public personality he had always wanted". The photo made a huge impression on the twenty-year-old Andy Warhol , who often talked about it and wrote fan letters to Capote. When Warhol moved to New York in 1949, he made numerous attempts to meet Capote, and Warhol's fascination with the author led to Warhol's first New York one-man show, Fifteen Drawings Based on
12998-557: The photos by David Attie and the design work by Harper's art director Alexey Brodovitch that were to accompany the text. But despite his compliance, Hearst ordered Harper's not to run the novella anyway. Its language and subject matter were still deemed "not suitable", and there was concern that Tiffany's , a major advertiser, would react negatively. An outraged Capote resold the novella to Esquire for its November 1958 issue; by his own account, he told Esquire he would only be interested in doing so if Attie's original series of photos
13132-553: The prized invitations for months, snubbing early supporters like fellow Southern writer Carson McCullers as he determined who was "in" and who was "out". Despite the assertion earlier in life that one "lost an IQ point for every year spent on the West Coast", he purchased a home in Palm Springs and began to indulge in a more aimless life and heavy drinking. This resulted in bitter quarreling with Jack Dunphy , with whom he had shared
13266-733: The process of tearing it down. I blew the whistle in my own weak way. I'd only published a couple of books at that time – but since it was such a superbly written book, nobody wanted to hear about it. Alvin Dewey , the Kansas Bureau of Investigation detective portrayed in In Cold Blood , later said that the last scene, in which he visits the Clutters' graves, was Capote's invention, while other Kansas residents whom Capote interviewed have claimed they or their relatives were mischaracterized or misquoted. Dewey and his wife Marie became friends of Capote during
13400-591: The publisher of his novel Other Voices, Other Rooms (see below), moved to capitalize on this novel's success with the publication of A Tree of Night and Other Stories in 1949. In addition to "Miriam", this collection also includes "Shut a Final Door", first published in The Atlantic Monthly (August 1947). After A Tree of Night , Capote published a collection of his travel writings, Local Color (1950), which included nine essays originally published in magazines between 1946 and 1950. " A Christmas Memory ",
13534-458: The same year as his first play, film producer David O. Selznick hired Capote alongside two Hollywood screenwriters for the script of Terminal Station . A few months later in early 1953, John Huston hired him for Beat the Devil . In 1960, while writing In Cold Blood , Jack Clayton approached him to rewrite the script for The Innocents . Capote set aside his novel and in eight weeks produced
13668-446: The scene of the massacre. Over the course of the next few years, he became acquainted with everyone involved in the investigation and most of the residents of the small town and the area. Rather than taking notes during interviews, Capote committed conversations to memory and immediately wrote quotes as soon as an interview ended. He claimed his memory retention for verbatim conversations had been tested at "over 90%". Lee made inroads into
13802-525: The script used for the final film. Traveling through the Soviet Union with a touring production of Porgy and Bess , he produced a series of articles for The New Yorker that became his first book-length work of nonfiction, The Muses Are Heard (1956). In this period he also wrote an autobiographical essay for Holiday Magazine —one of his personal favorites—about his life in Brooklyn Heights in
13936-458: The sending of miniature coffins, a rattlesnake murder, a decapitation, etc. Instead, they found that a few of the details closely mirrored an unsolved case on which investigator Al Dewey had worked. Their conclusion was that Capote had invented the rest of the story, including his meetings with the suspected killer, Quinn. Now more sought after than ever, Capote wrote occasional brief articles for magazines, and also entrenched himself more deeply in
14070-736: The short story by Annie Proulx that appeared in the October 13, 1997, issue; Jonathan Safran Foer 's 2001 debut in The New Yorker , which later came to theaters in Liev Schreiber 's debut as both screenwriter and director, Everything Is Illuminated (2005); Michael Cunningham 's The Hours , which appeared in The New Yorker before becoming the film that garnered the 2002 Best Actress Academy Award for Nicole Kidman ; Adaptation (2002), which Charlie Kaufman based on Susan Orlean 's The Orchid Thief , written for The New Yorker ; Frank McCourt's Angela's Ashes (1999), which also appeared, in part, in The New Yorker before its film adaptation
14204-543: The talk show circuit. In 1972, Capote accompanied The Rolling Stones on their first American tour since 1969 as a correspondent for Rolling Stone . He ultimately refused to write the article, so the magazine recouped its interests by publishing in April 1973 an interview of the author conducted by Andy Warhol. A collection of previously published essays and reportage, The Dogs Bark: Public People and Private Places , appeared later that year. In July 1973, Capote met John O'Shea,
14338-457: The time Capote spent in Kansas gathering research for his book. Dewey gave Capote access to the case files and other items related to the investigation and to the members of the Clutter family, including Nancy Clutter's diary. When the film version of the book was made in 1967, Capote arranged for Marie Dewey to receive $ 10,000 from Columbia Pictures as a paid consultant to the making of the film. Another work described by Capote as "nonfiction"
14472-404: The time of his birth. Arriving at Skully's Landing, a vast, decaying mansion in rural Alabama, Joel meets his sullen stepmother Amy, debauched transvestite Randolph, and defiant Idabel, a girl who becomes his friend. He also sees a spectral "queer lady" with "fat dribbling curls" watching him from a top window. Despite Joel's queries, the whereabouts of his father remains a mystery. When he finally
14606-431: The top and to shine a kind of harsh light on them, to satirize them." In an interview on Larry King Live shortly after the magazine issue began circulating, Obama said, "Well, I know it was The New Yorker ' s attempt at satire... I don't think they were entirely successful with it". Obama also pointed to his own efforts to debunk the allegations the cover depicted through a website his campaign set up, saying that
14740-505: The wake of September 11, and became a popular print and poster. For the 1993 Valentine's Day issue, the magazine cover by Art Spiegelman depicted a black woman and a Hasidic Jewish man kissing, referencing the Crown Heights riot of 1991. The cover was criticized by both black and Jewish observers. Jack Salzman and Cornel West called the reaction to the cover the magazine's "first national controversy". "The Politics of Fear",
14874-731: The winner. Anyone age 13 or older can enter or vote. Each contest winner receives a print of the cartoon (with the winning caption) signed by the artist who drew the cartoon. In 2017, after Bob Mankoff left the magazine, Emma Allen became the youngest and first female cartoon editor in the magazine's history. Since 1993, the magazine has published occasional stories of comics journalism (alternately called "sketchbook reports") by such cartoonists as Marisa Acocella Marchetto , Barry Blitt , Sue Coe , Robert Crumb and Aline Kominsky-Crumb , Jules Feiffer , Ben Katchor , Carol Lay , Gary Panter , Art Spiegelman , Mark Alan Stamaty , and Ronald Wimberly . In April 2018, The New Yorker launched
15008-468: The world of the jet set . Gore Vidal once observed, "Truman Capote has tried, with some success, to get into a world that I have tried, with some success, to get out of." In the late 1960s, he became friendly with Lee Radziwill , the sister of Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis . Radziwill was an aspiring actress and had been panned for her performance in a production of The Philadelphia Story in Chicago. Capote
15142-429: Was a dry run after I'd done a lot of work on them. And one day I was gleaning The New York Times , and way on the back page I saw this very small item. And it just said, "Kansas Farmer Slain. Family of Four is Slain in Kansas". A little item just about like that. And the community was completely nonplussed, and it was this total mystery of how it could have been, and what happened. And I don't know what it was. I think it
15276-413: Was a former Spanish colonel who became a landlord at Union de Reyes, Cuba . Of his early days, Capote related, "I was writing really sort of serious when I was about eleven. I say seriously in the sense that like other kids go home and practice the violin or the piano or whatever, I used to go home from school every day, and I would write for about three hours. I was obsessed by it." In 1932, he attended
15410-434: Was a neighbor and friend of Harper Lee , who would also go on to become an acclaimed author and a lifelong friend of Capote's. Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird likely models Dill 's characterization upon Capote. As a lonely child, Capote taught himself to read and write before he entered his first year of school. Capote was often seen at age five carrying his dictionary and notepad, and began writing fiction at age 11. He
15544-403: Was an American novelist, screenwriter, playwright, and actor. Several of his short stories, novels, and plays have been praised as literary classics, including the novella Breakfast at Tiffany's (1958) and the true crime novel In Cold Blood (1966).

15678-428: Was commissioned to write the teleplay for a 1967 television production starring Radziwill: an adaptation of the classic Otto Preminger film Laura (1944). The adaptation, and Radziwill's performance in particular, received indifferent reviews and poor ratings; arguably, it was Capote's first major professional setback. Radziwill supplanted the older Babe Paley as Capote's primary female companion in public throughout
15812-513: Was completed after the cancellation of Cyberdog and released at the MacHack 1997 conference by Sari Harrison and Frédéric Artru . Subwoofer evolved into the URL Access library shipped with Mac OS 8.6. OpenDoc had several hundred developers signed up, but the timing was poor. Apple Computer was rapidly losing money at the time. Before long, OpenDoc was scrapped, with Steve Jobs noting that they "put
15946-474: Was fortunate to have it, especially since I was determined never to set a studious foot inside a college classroom. I felt that either one was or wasn't a writer, and no combination of professors could influence the outcome. I still think I was correct, at least in my own case." He left his job to live with relatives in Alabama and began writing his first novel, Summer Crossing . He was called for induction into
16080-616: Was given the nickname "Bulldog" around this age. On Saturdays, he made trips from Monroeville to the nearby city of Mobile on the Gulf Coast , and at one point submitted a short story, "Old Mrs. Busybody", to a children's writing contest sponsored by the Mobile Press Register . Capote received recognition for his early work from The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in 1936. In 1932, he moved to New York City to live with his mother and her second husband, José García Capote. José
16214-401: Was included, but to his disappointment, the magazine ran just a single full-page image of Attie's (another was later used as the cover of at least one paperback edition of the novella). The novella was published by Random House shortly afterwards. For Capote, Breakfast at Tiffany's was a turning point, as he explained to Roy Newquist ( Counterpoint , 1964): I think I've had two careers. One
16348-458: Was later reported to have been largely fabricated. In a 1992 piece in the Sunday Times , reporters Peter and Leni Gillman investigated the source of "Handcarved Coffins", the story in Capote's last work Music for Chameleons subtitled "a nonfiction account of an American crime". They found no reported series of American murders in the same town that included all of the details Capote described –
16482-403: Was mixed. Online magazine Slate criticized the cover, which shows Ernie leaning on Bert's shoulder as they watch a television with the Supreme Court justices on the screen, saying, "it's a terrible way to commemorate a major civil-rights victory for gay and lesbian couples." The Huffington Post , meanwhile, said it was "one of [the magazine's] most awesome covers of all time". The cover of
16616-471: Was my best friend. Did you ever read her book, To Kill a Mockingbird ? I'm a character in that book, which takes place in the same small town in Alabama where we lived. Her father was a lawyer, and she and I used to go to trials all the time as children. We went to the trials instead of going to the movies." After Lee was awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1961 and Capote published In Cold Blood in 1966,
16750-458: Was once positioned as a replacement for the earlier, discontinued, Apple Open Collaboration Environment . The New Yorker The New Yorker is an American magazine featuring journalism, commentary, criticism, essays, fiction, satire, cartoons, and poetry. It was founded on February 21, 1925, by Harold Ross and his wife Jane Grant , a reporter for The New York Times . Together with entrepreneur Raoul H. Fleischmann, they established
16884-444: Was part of a very acrimonious competition between OpenDoc consortium members and Microsoft. The members of the OpenDoc alliance were all trying to obtain traction in a market rapidly being dominated by Microsoft Office and Internet Explorer. At the same time, Microsoft used the synergy between the OS and applications divisions of the company to make it effectively mandatory that developers adopt
17018-544: Was published by Mademoiselle and went on to win a prize, Best First-Published Story, in 1946. In the spring of 1946, Capote was accepted at Yaddo , the artists and writers colony at Saratoga Springs, New York . (He later endorsed Patricia Highsmith as a Yaddo candidate, and she wrote Strangers on a Train while she was there.) During an interview for The Paris Review in 1957, Capote said this of his short story technique: Since each story presents its own technical problems, obviously one can't generalize about them on
17152-475: Was published in 1948. Capote described this symbolic tale as "a poetic explosion in highly suppressed emotion". The novel is a semi-autobiographical refraction of Capote's Alabama childhood. Decades later, writing in The Dogs Bark (1973), he commented: The story focuses on thirteen-year-old Joel Knox following the loss of his mother. Joel is sent from New Orleans to live with his father, who abandoned him at
17286-431: Was released in 1999; The Addams Family (1991) and its sequel, Addams Family Values (1993), both inspired by the work of New Yorker cartoonist Charles Addams ; Brian De Palma 's Casualties of War (1989), which began as a New Yorker article by Daniel Lang; Boys Don't Cry (1999), starring Hilary Swank, which began as an article in the magazine; Iris (2001), about the life of Iris Murdoch and John Bayley,
17420-410: Was sent to Monroeville, Alabama , where, for the following four to five years, he was raised by his mother's relatives. He formed a fast bond with his mother's distant relative, Nanny Rumbley Faulk, whom Truman called "Sook". "Her face is remarkable – not unlike Lincoln's , craggy like that, and tinted by sun and wind", is how Capote described Sook in " A Christmas Memory " (1956). In Monroeville, Capote
17554-490: Was succeeded as editor by William Shawn (1951–1987), followed by Robert Gottlieb (1987–1992) and Tina Brown (1992–1998). The current editor of The New Yorker is David Remnick , who succeeded Brown in July 1998. Among the important nonfiction authors who began writing for the magazine during Shawn's editorship were Dwight Macdonald , Kenneth Tynan , and Hannah Arendt , whose Eichmann in Jerusalem reportage appeared in
17688-478: Was that I knew nothing about Kansas or that part of the country or anything. And I thought, "Well, that will be a fresh perspective for me" ... And I said, "Well, I'm just going to go out there and just look around and see what this is." And so maybe this is the subject I've been looking for. Maybe a crime of this kind is ... in a small town. It has no publicity around it and yet had some strange ordinariness about it. So I went out there, and I arrived just two days after
17822-402: Was the career of precocity, the young person who published a series of books that were really quite remarkable. I can even read them now and evaluate them favorably, as though they were the work of a stranger ... My second career began, I guess it really began with Breakfast at Tiffany's . It involves a different point of view, a different prose style to some degree. Actually, the prose style
17956-455: Was well-reviewed in America and overseas, and was also a finalist for a 2016 Indie Book Award. Breakfast at Tiffany's: A Short Novel and Three Stories (1958) brought together the title novella and three shorter tales: " House of Flowers ", " A Diamond Guitar " and " A Christmas Memory ". The heroine of Breakfast at Tiffany's , Holly Golightly, became one of Capote's best known creations, and
