review 1: Well it is my annual time to reread "A Christmas Memory".This short story is my absolute favorite because it combines my memories of my Aunt Irene's Christmas fruitcake with Truman's own remembrances. The truly great fruitcake of the old South is rapidly disappearing from our culture. It is a labor of love as this story will a test to.I started making them after I got out of the US Navy in 1981. Have made them nearly every year since then.
review 2: There are reasons that some books become classics. This is one that captures moments from childhood and freezes them for all time, moments from treasured holidays, moments of love, fright, embarrassment, belonging. Moments that many of us can relate to even if we did not grow up during the Depression in the deep ... moreSouth as did Truman Capote with his beloved cousin Sook. I believe I will eventually need to obtain a copy of this book for myself or just continue liberating the library copy at Christmastime each year.A huge thank you to On the Southern Literary Trail for scheduling it now so that I was doubly inspired to read it. less
