Summary

-- Other Voices, Other Rooms, and -- New Yorker -- --Associated Press ("Capote's early) stories are special. Not just because they give a glimpse of an author finding his voice; or for the traces of his masterpieces. But also because they stand in their own right as lovely vignettes of the lives of the lonely, broken and troubled. ... If you consider they were written when he was a child--aged between eleven and nineteen--then they become breathtaking in their precocity, craftsmanship, simplicity and the tenderness he became renowned for. -- "--- --Kirkus Reviews From the Hardcover edition
