"Mr. Capote's first novel expresses a delicate and highly personal fusion of the familiar, the everyday, the realistic, with the strange, the perilous, and even the ghostly. On the surface, it is the narrative of a young boy's experiences in a desolate Sourthern rural community during one long and lowering summer, as he moves painfully and at times terrifyingly into emotional maturity. Below and beyond the surface, it is rich in poetic meanings and metaphorical intimations; it abounds in the imagery of solitude, doubt, and fear, of discovery and love."; Ex-Library; 7" - 9" Tall
