review 1: I must admit I am not one who general chooses short stories for reading materials but I was looking for a Christmas classic and I have never read Capote's work before. I found the stories entertaining especial the Thanksgiving visitor. Capote does well at transporting you to rural Alabama, evoking the scents and noises of the holidays. Yet I cannot say I was too enthralled with One Christmas as is did not have the happy theme that the other two did.
review 2: This is a perfect little book, with 3 stories of remembered Christmases and Thanksgiving, that illuminate Capote's early life in Monroeville, Alabama. He and his cousin/friend Sook, (she was 60, he was 8) were both misfits who made life bearable for each other. It has been a while since I read Capote, a... morend I had forgotten what an artist he was with words. I think I'll pull this one off the shelf every year at the holidays, just to be reminded of a simpler time, and the beauty of Miss Sook's spirit. less
