  <default_description>A landmark collection that brings together Truman Capote&amp;#8217;s life&amp;#8217;s work in the form he called his &amp;#8220;great love,&amp;#8221; &lt;b&gt;The Complete Stories &lt;/b&gt;confirms Capote&amp;#8217;s status as a master of the the short story. This first-ever compendium features a never-before-published 1950 story, &amp;#8220;The Bargain,&amp;#8221; as well as an introduction by Reynolds Price. Ranging from the gothic South to the chic East Coast, from rural children to aging urban sophisticates, all the unforgettable places and people of Capote&amp;#8217;s oeuvre are here, in stories as elegant as they are heartfelt, as haunting as they are compassionate. Reading them reminds us of the miraculous gifts of a beloved American original.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[A smattering of stories from the late 1940's up to the end of Truman Capote's life (he passed away in the mid-1980's), this body of work appears to represent more of a fictionalized auto-biography than a complete anthology of short stories.

    <body><![CDATA[Truman Capote is better known for his short novel &quot;Breakfast at Tiffany's&quot; and his non-fiction novel &quot;In Cold Blood.&quot; But he wrote some very good short stories, usually taking place in the South where he was from -- or New York City where he lived as an adult.

    <body><![CDATA[Most of the pieces in here are gems, and highlight Capote's mastery of the short story form.  He alternated between writing humerous, first-person stories set in the South with &quot;Southern gothic&quot; style pieces that examine the darker side of human feelings and behavior. I preferred the humer...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/20977131">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[There are some very well written stories in this collection.  I really enjoyed all of them.  The neat thing is that Truman Capote had an interesting background of being raised in the South and then living the high life in New York.  ]]></body>
