The Early Stories of Truman Capote Bewertungen

Breathtaking in their precocity, craftsmanship, simplicity and the tenderness [Capote] became renowned for ... The stories are special ... They stand in their own right as lovely vignettes of the lives of the lonely, broken and troubled -- Andrew Johnson * Independent *
The work of a precocious teenager . . . There is certainly plenty in Capote's Early Stories to make aspiring writers, teenage or otherwise, wonder what they're doing with their lives -- Sam Kitchener * Telegraph *
An intriguing glimpse of Capote as a boy: precocious, provocative, spirited and strange, a pocket Merlin spinning tall tales -- Olivia Laing * New Statesman *
Along with cinematic elan [THE EARLY STORIES] convey a strong flavour of reportage, hinting at what was to come -- Hephzibah Anderson * Observer *
The stories prefigure Capote's later writing to a striking degree . . . [The Early Stories] demonstrate many of the skills that Capote would develop as his work matured - his lyricism and dexterity with imagery, as well as his exceptional ear for the multiple and varied rhythms of speech. Even if the writer had not yet mastered his craft, Capote's admirers will find The Early Stories a valuable addition -- Andrew Irwin * Times Literary Supplement *
