The Complete Stories of Truman Capote

Unique, talented.

Each one has a soul; he had a broken soul.
He couldn't fix it; otherwise, he would lose himself.
He presented it, trying to please, with hatred.
Years and years later,
peace returned,
only at the moment of modified memory.

Stories recommended:
- Shut a Final Door (distorted soul)
- Children on Their Birthdays (talent)
- A Christmas Memory (sweetened memory)
