Yet another book

Sometimes I come across books that are so good I wish I had read them the moment they got published and in that spirit I will mention one book here before I’ve even finished reading it. The book I “talk” about today has been waiting for me since (as fare as I can figure) 2004, but the stories in it have been waiting longer, some of them as long as half a century. I, of course, borrowed my copy from the library and I was surprised to find a copy seemingly untouched by human hands. I cannot for the life of me understand why this book have been a secret, but maybe all the wise guys and girls bought it to place in their bookshelf, which of course is an action I find very agreeable. The book is a compilation of short stories by one of the best American writers last century and for those of you who follow my blog on a sort of regular basis, it should come as no surprise that I am talking about Truman Capote. The book is titled The complete stories of Truman Capote. Buy it, borrow it, steal it, I don’t care. Just read it.
