Capote was always drawn to outsiders—women, children, African Americans, the poor—because he felt like one himself from a very early age. Here we see Capote’s powers of empathy developing as he depicts his characters struggling at the margins of their known worlds. A boy experiences the violence of adulthood when he pursues an escaped convict into the woods. Petty jealousies lead to a life-altering event for a popular girl at Miss Burke’s Academy for Young Ladies. In a time of extraordinary loss, a woman fights to save the life of a child who has her lover’s eyes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn these stories we see early signs of Capote’s genius for creating unforgettable characters built of complexity and yearning. Young women experience the joys and pains of new love. Urbane sophisticates are worn down by cynicism. Children and adults alike seek understanding in a treacherous world. There are tales of crime and violence; of racism and injustice; of poverty and despair. And there are tales of generosity and tenderness; compassion and connection; wit and wonder. Above all there is the developing voice of a writer born in the Deep South who will use and eventually break from that tradition to become a literary figure like no other.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWith a foreword by the celebrated \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eNew Yorker\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003ecritic Hilton Als, this volume of early stories is essential for understanding how a boy from Monroeville, Alabama, became a legend in American literature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePraise for\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Early Stories of Truman Capote\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cspan\u003e“Succeeds at conveying the writer’s youthful rawness . . .
