In this seductive, wistful masterpiece, Truman Capote created a woman whose name has entered the American idiom and whose style is a part of the literary landscape. Holly Golightly knows that nothing bad can ever happen to you at Tiffany's; her poignancy, wit, and naivete continue to charm. This volume also includes three of Capote's best-known stories, “House of Flowers,” “A Diamond Guitar,” and “A Christmas Memory,” which the Saturday Review called “One of the most moving stories in our language.” It is a tale of two innocents—a small boy and the old woman who is his best friend—whose sweetness contains a hard, sharp kernel of truth.

这是一类你从未读过的电影幕后书。作者对好莱坞电影生态、美国战后文化思潮与时尚风向标有着深刻的了解，在梳理了大量文献资料、访问了众多关键人物的基础上，以优雅的笔法、戏谑的姿态、电影式的结构、对人性的体察徐徐拉开《蒂凡尼的早餐》前后创作过程的大幕。 重归二十世纪五十年代末的美国，一位叫霍利·戈莱特利的姑娘耸了耸眉峰，就彻底改变了这个国家对时尚、电影和性的观念。在这个故事里，有刁钻毒舌患得患失的卡波特，为人苛刻却慧眼识英的女作家柯莱特，专擅于与明星打交道的制片人朱罗、谢泼德，破旧立新不循常理的导演爱德华兹，盼望写出高雅性喜剧的下里巴人编剧阿克塞尔罗德，温文尔雅才华横溢的纪梵希，他们让这部原本在道德上备受争议的影片载入史册。当然，还有奥黛丽·赫本，在第五大道的清晨，从一个怀揣贤妻良母梦的好女孩，走向她演艺生涯的重大突破和飞跃，塑造出当时奇迹般被接受的“垮掉的一代”“女权榜样”形象。
