Summary: Brilliant
Comment: Every sentence in this book is like a jewel on a necklace. Capote was famously charming in life, and his charm translates to the page, for this is one of the most charming books I've ever read. While I did not like the recent movie version of this book, I would like to relate that the director chose to direct it after he asked a movie-friend, "What is the greatest novel you've ever read that has never been made into a movie?" The movie-friend said, "THE GRASS HARP." That movie-friend had taste in books. There are rumors that Harper Lee never wrote a second book after TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, because Truman Capote more or less wrote TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD for her! And without Capote by her side, she couldn't really "write" another book. A GRASS HARP has the same kind of charm that MOCKINGBIRD did, so that story is almost believable. (Capote was a close friend of Harper Lee's since childhood, and was the prototype for the character Dew in MOCKINGBIRD.) THE GRASS HARP is a famous book, but not as famous as it should be.

Summary: A lovingly crafted expose' of the love of his life.
Comment: Truman Capote was best known for Breakfast at Tiffany's and In Cold Blood. However, his real gifts to the world are among the less well known. When Capote writes stories that have their origins and influence from his childhood, his pen is like a magic wand that transports the written word into a thing of exquisite beauty that lifts a gossamer curtain so that the reader gains the miracle of the musical vision that this most gifted writer was able to create. His tale, The Grass Harp is simple and true, achingly revealing of the needs of the human heart. Give yourself the favor of reading this gentle and moving visit into the heart of one of our gifted legends: Truman Capote.

Summary: Painfully beautiful
Comment: If you were one of those people who had someone in your childhood speak to your heart, if someone showed you the stars and told you family stories and made you feel connected to a great huge human family, then you will love this book. If no one did this for you, then Truman Capote will. Take this book to a quiet place and let your heart soar. It is so beautiful it is hard to imagine somone knew how to make all the words fit so well to express such wondrous things.
