And nice girls don't, except, of course, for Holly Golightly: glittering socialite traveller, generally upwards, sometimes sideways and once in a while - down. Pursued by to Salvatore 'Sally' Tomato, the Mafia sugar-daddy doing life in Sing Sing and 'Rusty' Trawler, the blue-chinned, cuff-shooting millionaire man about women about town, Holly is a fragile eyeful of tawny hair and turned-up nose, a heart-breaker, a perplexer, a traveller, a tease. She is irrepressibly 'top banana in the shock deparment', and one of the shining flowers of American fiction. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis edition also contains three stories: 'House of Flowers', 'A Diamond Guitar' and 'A Christmas Memory'. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTruman Capote (1924-84) was born in New Orleans.
