Narration In Favor Of Books The Grass Harp, Including A Tree of Night and Other Stories

Set on the outskirts of a small Southern town, The Grass Harp tells the story of three endearing misfits--an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladies--who one day take up residence in a tree house. AS they pass sweet yet hazardous hours in a china tree, The Grass Harp manages to convey all the pleasures and responsibilities of freedom. But most of all it teaches us about the sacredness of love, "that love is a chain of love, as nature is a chain of life."

This volume also includes Capote's A Tree of Night and Other Stories, which the Washington Post called "unobstrusively beautiful...a superlative book."

Evaluation Based On Books The Grass Harp, Including A Tree of Night and Other Stories

Absolutely unreal! You have to read these books!

The first time I read a Truman Capote story I could have sworn I had read it before. Not trite or derivative, more like he drew these stories in fine silvery threads from my heart.

This is an utterly charming novella with all the qualities of a good fairy tale. I've always thought that Truman Capote is the bastard child of Eudora Welty and Tennessee Williams. This book is definitely on the Eudora Welty side of the equation, although it also reminds me in moments of We Have Always Lived at the Castle.This is a tale of misfits, of the freedom of refusing to fit in, and of what it takes to make yourself and your family. The language is elegiac and the relationships are sweet,

Love this. Reminded me of Harper Lee

Truman Capote is a strong writer and the first story in this series of short stories starts very sweetly about three endearing misfits an orphaned boy and two whimsical old ladieswho one day take up residence in a tree house ... but overshadowing everything is sadness for missed opportunities and fractions within the family. It ends sadly and, rather sadly, most of these stories are pretty dark when you get around to it. Not what I expected and not the best for the holidays.

I travel Capote's world mostly for the words. Yes, there is plot, characterization, mood, beginnings, middles, and ends (although some of those ends are quite abrupt). If his world is, at times, wistful, sometimes silly, sometimes fantastical, often cold, then, all the better because they are made that way through his exquisite use of words--the simpler the better. This is why I read Capote: "...a field of high Indian grass that changes color with the seasons: go to see it in the fall, late
